Abstract
The color of structural and monumental stone has challenged the architect for the most effective and harmonious appearance in architectural design since ancient times. The utilization of different color shades of stone has given new life to many existing structures. Stone colors are influenced by the color of the predominant mineral, but also by the adjacent minerals, grain size, and grain cement.
