Pattern, shape, and size.
Explanation: rock texture is controlled by the arrangement/pattern (sorting, fabric, orientation), the shapes (rounded vs. angular) of the grains, and their sizes (fine to coarse). Color is a separate property (mineral composition) and "feel" is just how the texture is perceived, not a fundamental grain property that defines texture.
