Granite is a good material to use in a patio as it is hardworking when compared to other materials such as sandstone.
All will discolour slightly over time but once maintained and given a regular cleaning they will stand the test of time.
I have a personal preference for the yellow but that just me.

A more important question you need to answer yourself is the type of finish on the patio.
Granite generally comes in flamed, honed or a bush hammered finished. I ma sure who ever you are buying the patio from will show you the different finishes.
