I’m still waiting for 3/4 of my order to arrive but these tiles are very beautiful and will look wonderful as my kitchen back splash. It was very difficult to get a real time picture of the Tropical Lagoon tiles when we were researching the tile. The sample did not do justice to the tile and was not worth the time or money. If you are looking to sample, save time and buy the entire tile to get the true picture. I was looking for a colorful tile that was light.  I thought there would be more silvers in the tile and that the tiles would be lighter. However, the tiles are not true to the pictures. They are very dark in person. The different colors ONLY pop out under lighting. Without lighting they look a very dark blue.  But they are lovely when light shines on them.  I am going to have lighting under my cabinets so these should be very pretty. Without the lighting these would be very dark and the different hues not discernible .
