I've had my eye on these tiles for about a year when we started planning our shower remodel.  I bought a few different samples but they were really small.   I went with tan.   There is no where near the color variance as what is shown.  I still like them, and too much of a hassle to return.   Hopefully my contractor can use a darker grout so it's not so white.   I do love the shaved tiles though.   Very smooth.
