What kind of tile is Retro Hexo Gray 6mm Matte?

We stock Retro Hexo Gray 6mm Matte as porcelain in a hexagon shape, 2"Hexagon. It reads gray-light. Porcelain is ceramic fired denser and harder, so it absorbs almost no water and holds a cut edge around an outlet. At thirty to forty square feet, upgrading backsplash material costs far less than upgrading a countertop.

What to put next to it

Built from the color we measured off Retro Hexo Gray 6mm Matte itself, not from its name.

We measured this tile's own swatch at #B4B8BC — light and essentially neutral. The closest color we hold pairing data for is Greige, so that is what the recommendations below are built from. Close enough to neutral that the cabinets get to make the decisions; this will follow them.

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
