What kind of tile is Calacatta Cressa Herringbone Honed?

We stock Calacatta Cressa Herringbone Honed as marble in a herringbone shape. It reads white-cool. Greecian White Herringbone Pattern and Calacatta Blanco Pattern Polished sit in the same style family if you want to compare. Marble is porous and will etch where citrus or vinegar sits, so it wants sealing and a gentler cleaner.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Calacatta Cressa Herringbone Honed itself, not from its name.

Measured, not guessed: #E8E8E5, very light and essentially neutral. The nearest color we hold pairings for is White Veined (Marble-Look). Close enough to neutral that the cabinets get to make the decisions; this will follow them.

Cabinets

Pure White — the bright gallery kitchen — veining supplies the movement plain white lacks. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast classic
Charcoal — inverted tuxedo — dark base, light top. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
Oxblood Burgundy — Dried-wine cabinetry under crisp veined white is old-London-pub-meets-gallery, and neither half will ever look dated.. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
Sage Green — keeps green kitchens bright. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials current

Island

Navy — white top lightens the dark base. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
Walnut — Cool white veining over chocolate walnut is the tuxedo of islands — the wood deepens with a decade of hand oil while the stone stays crisp above it.. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
Forest / Emerald — white stone keeps deep green from swallowing light. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element solid

Backsplash

Pure White — run the slab up the wall — one material, zero grout. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current
