River Gray Quartzite

River Gray Quartzite is a straightforward, handsome dark stone. The color is a dark charcoal gray, which gives a patio or path a clean and modern feel. Dark flagstone makes plants look greener and furniture look sharper, and it anchors a design that has a lot of light concrete or pale gravel. It is a good match for homes with gray, white or black trim.

Dark charcoal gray

River Gray is a dark charcoal gray. When wet, the gray goes darker still.

Read sealing flagstone if you want to hold that deeper color after the stone dries.

Patios, walkways and paths

Flagstone is sold in stand-up select pieces for big coverage and in smaller patio pieces that lie flat on the pallet. Either can work, depending on the size of your space.

A flagstone walkway in a dark gray pairs well with pale joints of sand or decomposed granite.
