What color do gravestones usually use?

Generally, natural stone color will do, and direct lettering will do.

For tombstones, the color depends on the tombstone material, with white characters on the black monument and black characters on the white monument.

It is a common practice in the funeral industry to paint the names of the living on the tombstones of some (pre-) burial tombs or Saint-Ying tombs in red.

The inscription on the martyr's tomb is red or gold, which means that the British name will last forever.
