Coronado Stone Products Hello Skucas44, Thank you for your question. The builder mentioned to use that Dakota Brown was the color used for this project and it is a good representative of what our Dakota Brown looks like on a larger profile. There are a few stone that slightly vary from our standard Dakota Brown. I can't tell if these stones were mixed in at the job site (leftovers, possibly from another project) or if it's just the lighting distorting the color slightly.
