Sorry it took me a while.... I'm just now seeing this thread pop-up again! The tiles are honed 3x6 crema marfil from Cooltiles.com. I never did see the Home Depot ones, so I can't comment on the quality difference. My tile guys said some of the cooltiles ones were not uniformly thick, so they did have to weed a few out. Colorado mom, have you completed yours? My other observation is in comparison to some of the crema marfil in the tile stores --- The cool tiles batch was lighter than many of the others, and it worked great for me, but it all depends on what you need! The grout was Bone.

The cabinet company claims they do not know the name of the color ; it is a very cold white white.

The best color is the one that you like. Really, no one can give you a best color. You need to provide more information as to your preferences, and some pictures.
