About Giallo Ornamental
Giallo Ornamental is a light beige granite with cream, grey, taupe and brown grains that flow in one direction. It is warm, natural and easy to live with.
It is a long-time favorite for kitchens with wood, white or cream cabinets, and it hides crumbs and everyday use well. The directional grain looks best when it runs the same way across every piece.

What is granite?
Granite is one of the most popular materials due to its versatility, durability, and ease of maintenance. It can also be more affordable than other options. Granite comes in a striking array of colors and is an ideal choice for kitchen and bathroom countertops, outdoor projects, business applications, and other heavily used surfaces.
Giallo Ornamental questions we get asked
Is Giallo Ornamental a yellow granite?
Giallo means yellow in Italian, but the stone reads as a warm cream-beige rather than a strong yellow, with grey and brown grains.
What backsplash goes with Giallo Ornamental?
Cream, ivory or warm white tile keeps it simple. Travertine-look tile and soft beige subway tile also work well.
Is Giallo Ornamental a good choice for a busy family kitchen?
Yes. Granite stands up to heat, scratches and daily wear, and a patterned stone like Giallo Ornamental hides crumbs, water spots and fingerprints better than a solid surface.
Does Giallo Ornamental need to be sealed?
Most granite benefits from a sealer, and we seal at install. Dark, dense granites absorb very little, so resealing is infrequent; the water-drop test once a year tells you if it is needed.
