Selon un représentant de la compagnie «Québec granite», il est d'usage dans le milieu francophone québécois de conserver les appellations anglaises (par exemple : «granite light Barre [prononcé «barré»]», «granite dark Barre»); nous ne voyons pas, cependant, pourquoi on ne pourrait pas traduire ces expressions en français.

OBS

On trouve les termes «granite clair» (en allemand : «Granit hell», en anglais : «granite light») et granite foncé (en allemand : «Granit dunkel», en anglais : «granite dark») dans le site Internet <a href="http://www.sam.de/pdf/sam_roc_wtsysteme.pdf" title="http://www.sam.de/pdf/sam_roc_wtsysteme.pdf">http://www.sam.de/pdf/sam_roc_wtsysteme.pdf</a>.
