We are remodeling our children's bathroom and I selected these tiles because the shape and size made them seem a little more playful than a standard larger rectangle or square marble tile. I love that they are honed, not polished, so they have a nice matte look. In reality they look just like the photos shown. They are varying shades of gray, mostly light, with occasional darker tones. I was concerned about there possibly being random spots of golden brown, as is sometimes the case with marble, but there really weren't any. So I'm super pleased with it.
