    Is it possible that tile comes in other colors, something more beige or gray? I think you may be disappointed in how pink your floor will be when it's done.

    actually there is more grey in it and more beige

    And the tile blends well with the powder room in charcoal grey

    Ok it looks pink/orange on my monitor so I'm going to refrain from making a paint suggestion because it will be way off. Sorry and good luck! I'm sure someone else will help :)

    I like your ORB handles. The cabinet is reading very yellow on my monitor. Rather than specify a certain color, I would take your samples to a paint store and select two or three colors that you think might work. Purchase samples of each and paint a test board - one color to each board. Move these around your space in different times of day and see how they do with the other samples and your lighting.

    Hi---yes I'm not sure I'm seeing accurate color on my monitor either. Do you have the names/sources for your materials we could refer to? It would help considerably... If you have the cabs, counters, and pulls I suggest a smoked oyster color. The floor is throwing it off-too peachy/pink color to coordinate with the what you have selected for the essentials in your kitchen. I recommend something like in the pics instead. First photo wall color as well as overall color inspiration. CheerS![houzz=

    I agree with the above suggestions, especially for the flooring, which I think should be elegantly neutral. Before having seen the above, my first reaction would be to use white subway tiles from countertop to upper cabinet height. This "white" could correspond with trim color around window and doors (semigloss) as well as the warm oyster-dolor for the walls. Depending on the rest or your house colors, etc, you could also entertain the idea of a warm olive for the walls as well.

    I've taken a couple more photos, hopefully showing the tile colours more accurately.

    Could you take a photo (outside) with all three materials-cab, floor, and counter? From what I can see, there are two issues with this stone. First the color does appear to be a bit peachy/pink and the second-it has a lot of movement. The stone you selected for your counter is Stunning and has movement, therefore I suggest a floor material with little to no variation of color and pattern. Looking forward to that photo of all three together. Hope this is helpful georgealexander...
