I love the flatstone entry steps. What stone was used?

From the picture is tones of carmel and some light grey. The walls are a very nice compliment. What stone are they composed from. It's a very nice open and elegant entry work style. Thanks for sharing your ideas.

The stone is Arizona Sandstone which comes in numerous shades. This particular shade is called "Buckskin" and it is laid in an "Ashlar" pattern on the paving

Do you know if the house is also Arizona Sandstone and was painted?
