The tile arrived well packed and none were broken - beautiful and as shown. Creamy beige color and the distressed coloring has colors including rust and greenish blue that will go with most anything. Our cabinets are a medium brown and granite is called coffee brown. We used TEC grout in Summer Wheat. Note that the raised pattern makes cleaning off the grout more difficult. We like the results a lot so it was worth it! The design in the tile is really gorgeous, and resembles old tin tiles. It works great in our farm house style kitchen.
