Good that your contracter knows his capabilities.

So many grays out there. Do you have a small piece of the counter you can take to match the gray? If not just take the herringbone sample to match that up to something else.

We did a Tesoro gray 3x12 inch in our Florida home.

There are also different shapes of tiles.

I wanted to keep it simple as my husband likes classic.

We have Silestone Calcatta. Hard to see the light veins in the photo.

If you want that exact same color but are not locked on a subway tile necessarily - MSI appear to have other types of retro gray tiles such as Hexo , Scallop , Arabesque , and (combined with White) Octagon-and-dot (note that some are glossy and others are matte). Strangely I could not find retro gray subway tiles from MSI...

If you are locked on a subway tile - agree with eld6161- take a countertop sample and start shopping (or better - order samples to your home so you can see it against your countertop and potentially other design elements in your home) - there is no shortage of gray subway tiles out there :)

Good luck!

I found one at Lowe’s!! You are correct MSI does not have subway shape in retro grey. I’m using ram these boutique Crafted Subway in Silver. Nice texture and a bit longer format than a standard subway. It will do and less hassle!!

Glad you've found what you're looking for - good luck with your project! :)
