Here's why:

* Light-colored: Granite is typically light gray, pink, or white due to its high quartz and feldspar content.

* Coarse-grained: Granite has large, visible crystals because it cools slowly underground (intrusive).

* Intrusive: Granite forms when magma cools and solidifies beneath the Earth's surface.

Other examples of light-colored, coarse-grained intrusive igneous rocks include:

* Syenite: Similar to granite, but with less quartz and more alkali feldspar.

* Quartz monzonite: An intermediate rock between granite and diorite.
