What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Ice Onyx Book Matched 12MM Polished itself, not from its name.

Forget the name for a moment. The swatch measures #E9E6E4 — very light and essentially neutral — which puts it nearest White Veined (Marble-Look) in our pairing data. It sits close to neutral, which means it will take direction from the cabinets rather than fight 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
