Although beautiful, DON'T GO BY COLOR IN PICS for the blue variety of this tile. Yes, I know colors can look different based on different monitors, but the color on this one is way off no matter what device you're using. It's nowhere near the shade of blue as it appears in pictures. It's nowhere near as vibrant as the pics make it look. Green-Grey-Brown is what I'd call it...with hints of teal in certain lighting and at certain angles. The pics I'm posting here are far more accurate for actual tile look, but still not exactly true color. My pics look more soft blue than is true. The brown veins are true in the pics, I didn't want any browns and nowhere in any description does it state brown. (*Sigh* I should stop procrastinating so I have time to always order a sample piece.) As far as the "Metallic" goes - subtle, not overwhelming - so that's nice.
