Any list of appropriate colors for outdoor granite kitchens? Thinking about ultraviolet changes and freeze/thaw issues (northern Michigan). Or any general guidelines for color selection?

Most resins are not UV stable, so start with a stone that is not resined. Darker colors absorb (& hold) more heat than lighter stones, so use a lighter color.

Maybe you want to retain some heat in that neighborhood.
