We put these Peel & Impress tiles in our kitchen as a back splash and behind our stove. They look beautiful, we have wood everywhere and the colors we used really pop out! The adhesive side is a silver color and very strong but you're still able to pull up to make an alignment adjustment. I used scissors to make the appropriate cut-ins and this was very easy to do. The color advertised was just as I received. It was so easy and made a huge difference in our otherwise dark kitchen.
