Why Color Is the Place to Start a Tile Project

Most tile decisions eventually
narrow down to a small set of practical questions: what shape, what material,
what finish. But before any of those, color sets the tone for the whole room
and determines what else will work alongside it. A backsplash color has to read
well against the cabinetry and countertop already in the room or planned for
it. A bathroom floor color affects how large or small the space feels. A pool
tile color changes how the water itself appears. Starting with color, rather
than starting with shape or material, is often the more efficient way to narrow
a catalog of thousands of products down to a manageable shortlist.

Black Tile

Black tile creates drama and
contrast, whether used as a full surface in a moody bathroom or as an accent
against a lighter field tile. It pairs naturally with matte black fixtures,
brass hardware, and white or light gray surrounding materials. Browse the black tile
collection.

White Tile

White is the most versatile and
most requested tile color, working across every design style and every room. It
maximizes light reflection, which is especially valuable in kitchens and
bathrooms without abundant natural light. Browse the white tile
collection.

Blue Tile

Blue spans a wide emotional
range, from pale powder blue that reads as soft and calm to deep navy that
reads as confident and saturated. It is one of the most popular colors for
bathrooms and pools, where it reinforces the association with water. Browse the
blue tile
collection.

Green Tile

Green has grown significantly in
popularity for kitchens and bathrooms in recent years, particularly in sage,
eucalyptus and other muted, nature inspired tones. It pairs well with warm wood
and natural stone. Browse the green tile
collection.

Gray Tile

Gray sits between the brightness
of white and the commitment of a true color, making it a popular choice for
contemporary kitchens and bathrooms that want a neutral with more depth than
white provides. Browse the gray tile
collection.

Brown Tile

Brown tile, especially in
natural stone and wood look formats, brings warmth and grounding to a space. It
suits farmhouse, traditional and rustic design directions where natural
materials are part of the overall palette. Browse the brown tile
collection.

Cream and Beige Tile

Cream and beige are warmer
alternatives to white, suited to spaces where a true white would feel too stark
against warm wood cabinetry or cream colored fixtures. They are some of the
most timeless backsplash and floor colors available. Browse the cream and beige
tile collection.

Red Tile

Red tile makes a bold, confident
statement and is most often used as an accent rather than a full surface, in
kitchen backsplash details, fireplace surrounds or feature walls. Browse the red tile
collection.

Orange Tile

Orange tile, often in warm
terracotta and burnt orange tones, suits Mediterranean, Southwestern and
bohemian design directions. Browse the orange tile
collection.

Yellow and Gold Tile

Yellow and gold tile brings
warmth and energy to a space, from pale butter tones that read as soft and
cheerful to deeper gold and mustard tones that read as rich and saturated.
Browse the yellow and gold
tile collection.

Silver Tile

Silver tile, most often in metal
and metallic glass finishes, brings a cool, reflective quality suited to
contemporary and modern kitchens and bathrooms. Browse the silver tile
collection.

Multicolor Tile

Multicolor tile combines several
colors within a single tile or mosaic sheet, letting the tile itself carry
visual interest without requiring careful coordination of complementary
materials elsewhere in the room. Browse the multicolor tile
collection.

How to Choose a Tile Color for Your Project

Match or Contrast with Existing Materials

If you are working within an
existing kitchen or bathroom, the color of your cabinetry, countertop and
fixtures is the starting point. Matching tile color to those materials creates
a cohesive, unified look. Contrasting tile color, a colorful backsplash against
neutral cabinetry, or a dark floor against light walls, creates a deliberate
focal point. Neither approach is right or wrong. The choice depends on whether
you want the tile to blend in or stand out. For application specific guidance,
visit the kitchen
backsplash tile collection or the bathroom tile
collection.

Consider the Room's Light

Rooms with limited natural light
benefit from lighter, more reflective tile colors, white, cream and light gray,
which bounce available light back into the space. Rooms with abundant natural
light have more flexibility to use darker or more saturated colors without the
space feeling closed in. Always view tile samples in the actual room at
different times of day before finalizing a color decision, since the same tile
can read differently under morning light, afternoon light and evening
artificial lighting.

Think About Longevity

Neutral colors, white, cream,
gray and black, tend to stay relevant longer than trend driven colors, which
matters if you are not planning to renovate again soon. Bold or trend forward
colors can be incorporated in lower cost, lower commitment ways, such as an
accent strip or a smaller accent wall, rather than a full surface, which allows
for a color update later without a full retile. For design direction across all
styles, visit the contemporary
style collection and the farmhouse style
collection.
