I went back and forth about this tile for a long time. It seemed that the color looked different in every picture I saw, and in person, the tile had a gray look to it. In some of the review pictures, I liked how the tile looked, and in others I did not like the look. I had a theory that the tile was taking on the color of the grout that people had chosen, so I decided to take a chance on this tile and chose to pair it with the "linen" color grout. I am so glad I did because it came out looking great. When paired with the linen grout, this tile has a farmhouse wood plank look, which is what I was going for. There were some dye-lot issues, but this was easily solved by dispersing them throughout for a varied look. The tile is also very matte, and it not slippery at all, even when wet. I am very happy with this tile! And can't beat the price.
I am including 2 pictures, one picture before grout was applied and one after grout was applied.
