What kind of tile is Pearl?

We stock Pearl as porcelain in a fluted shape, 7X16. It reads white-cool. The recommended grout colors are arctic white **based on custom building products - grout solutions. It comes as mesh-backed mosaic sheet, which sets faster than loose pieces. Porcelain is ceramic fired denser and harder, so it absorbs almost no water and holds a cut edge around an outlet.

Sizes

Pearl is made in a single size, 7X16. That makes layout simple — what you see in the sample is the module you get across the whole wall.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Pearl itself, not from its name.

Forget the name for a moment. The swatch measures #C9BFB1 — light and warm — which puts it nearest Greige in our pairing data. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.

Cabinets

Pure White — walls one step warmer than the cabinets so the white reads crisp. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out classic

Countertop

White Veined (Marble-Look) — Greige keeps the veined white from feeling icy — the counter reads like linen instead of a showroom slab, and fingerprints vanish into the warmth.. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out current

Hardware

Warm Brass / Satin Gold — Brass pulls the hidden taupe out of greige, and as the lacquer softens over the years the pulls just look more collected, never tarnished.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current

Flooring

Natural / White Oak — Greige and natural oak share the same beige undertone, so the cabinets seem to grow out of the floor — a quiet trick that makes small kitchens feel seamless.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast solid

Questions about Pearl

Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.

What size is Pearl?

Pearl comes in one size, 7X16. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.

Where can I use Pearl?

Its maker rates it for flooring. We hold to that rating when we quote — installing outside it is how a warranty claim gets denied.

Will the tiles match the sample I saw?

Pearl is rated V2 — slight variation. Clearly the same tile throughout, with small differences in tone that most people stop noticing once it is grouted.

What color is Pearl, really?

We measured its own swatch at #C9BFB1 — light and warm. It sits close to neutral, so it takes direction from the cabinets rather than fighting them. Names are marketing; that number is what the camera saw.

Does Pearl need sealing?

No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
