This tile is exactly what I was looking for. Installed in my kitchen as a tall backsplash behind my stove. The mix of different tones is subtle and calming so it compliments the grays, the beiges and the whites. The tile layer needs to scramble the different tones to get the desired effect. It has a high gloss finish that adds a neat dimension, however if if you don't like gloss, this tile isn't for you.
