Granite Boulder

PPG1015-6

Check nearby tile first. Granite Boulder is a muted taupe-brown with a faint rosy mineral cast. It can work on kitchen islands, interior doors, or a cozy office where charcoal would feel too hard.

The warmth stays low. Cream trim and honed stone bring out its quieter side. If paired with pink-beige tile, test first, because the red undertone may become more noticeable.
