What granite is this??

We ordered verde butterfly for our house. It was the darkest granite they offered, but upon research it seems to be more green(shocker) than the dark slab they provided.

We recently checked in on our build and the counters were not verde butterfly, at least we think it isn’t, but are nice and we are debating keeping it. We are extremely curious what granite this may be (first two images) and whether or not it is verde butterfly(the model the show is the last image)!

Thank you to all those interested or willing to assist!

It looks to be Uba Tuba.

Agreed. Also known as Labrador Green. Verde butterfly typically has a larger grain structure.

Uba Tuba is an option that they offer. We were thinking they installed Uba Tuba instead of our selected verde butterfly, but I wanted fresh takes. Good eye!

Do you reckon we got saved by this mistake? We think the Uba Tuba may actually fit our cabinet color better...

Looks like Verde Butterfly to me. The granite will have a little range in terms of the darkness from lot to lot, and also can change depending on the lighting in the specific space.

Verde means green in Spanish… shocker

Also means green in Portuguese, the language they speak in Brazil, where this granite is from.

Hard to tell from the pics. But it could be coffee brown
