Sizes
Absolute Black Granite is made in 2 sizes. Size is the decision people skip and then notice every day: it sets how much grout line ends up in the field, and a larger module on the same wall reads calmer than a small one.

What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished counter matches the sample.
Piece-to-piece variation: Low
The maker grades variation between pieces as low.
Certifications
Certified GreenGuard Gold · NSF · USGBC/LEED. Greenguard Gold is the stricter of the two Greenguard tiers, written around schools and healthcare. NSF is a food-contact safety certification — the surface is rated for preparing food on, which is a cleanability standard, not an air one. It can also contribute toward LEED credits if your project is chasing them.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Absolute Black Granite itself, not from its name.
Read off its own swatch, Absolute Black Granite measures #0F100E: very dark, essentially neutral. We match that to Black / Charcoal Stone and build the pairings from there. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.
Cabinets
- Pure White — tuxedo scheme; hides counter mess that white counters broadcast. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic
- Natural / White Oak — black leathered stone gives oak an edge. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes solid

Questions about Absolute Black Granite
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Absolute Black Granite?
Absolute Black Granite comes in 2 sizes: 3 cm · 12x12. Pick the size before the color. It decides how much grout line ends up in the field, and on the same wall a larger module reads calmer than a small one.
Where can I use Absolute Black Granite?
Its maker rates it for countertops · wall · flooring. We hold to that rating when we quote — installing outside it is how a warranty claim gets denied.
What color is Absolute Black Granite, really?
We measured its own swatch at #0F100E — very dark and essentially neutral. It sits close to neutral, so it takes direction from the cabinets rather than fighting them. Names are marketing; that number is what the camera saw.
What is Absolute Black Granite made of?
Absolute Black Granite is a granite tile, which is what decides how it is cared for — see the sealing answer below.
Does Absolute Black Granite need sealing?
Yes. Granite is natural stone with real porosity. It wants sealing on installation and re-sealing every year or two — a ten-minute job with a bottle from the hardware store, not a service call.
