White Subway Tile / White Hex
Comments (10)Wow - thank you so much for your helpful responses! I just love this website :-) I've decided to go with the white hex and the Laticrete Silver Shadow grout - I looked online and saw several pictures and I really like it! (is it darker or lighter than the Mapei Warm Gray Bill V? I think they are very close according to this website - http://www.grout-aide.com/colors2.html) I actually really like the black/white example Bill V shared as it doesn't over-do the black flowers but after a bit more thought, I think that the all white hex will give us more options if we decide to change the paint later or the next homeowner has all boys :-) I'll have to save my idea of having black honed granite for our kitchen remodel next summer! * Side note, this will just be the girls' bathroom - we are currently adding a master upstairs as well and a powder downstairs for guests - you will certainly be seeing many more questions from me as we get closer to making final decisions in both of those spaces as well ;) Thanks for all the responses re: grout not matching between the two spaces. Bill V, I'm definitely giving consideration to both being the same as you suggest but going to leave that up to my husband to decide. I saw a picture on this forum that has the grout you suggested as their surround and it looks lovely with the chrome!!! alku05, yes, please share pictures! Does your granite have the garnet speckles? I read online that some of these slabs do and some don't - obviously with any of the paint options I'm looking at the red garnet speckles won't work ;) I also read that this slab resembles marble but without as much worry about staining - certainly something I'm going to look more into! - On that note, do you think the space will look balanced if I picked a granite like this one (with grey and/or white tones) if we go with all white and just the lighter grey grout? Thanks to all who responded - if there are any other suggestions or pictures you could share with me, I'm all ears and of course appreciate all the help!...See MoreWhite or ''Stone Look'' Subway Tile Backsplash
Comments (18)oy! i made about three trips between the store and my apt. today with samples. they had the same pattern as my floor tile in a jerusalem gold that blended great with the granite. but in the end, it seemed like too much pattern and that glossy would look better than matte. i looked at crackle, also, in white, off-white and tan.couldn't find the right tone that was both crackle and bevel, so went with plain biscuit bevel; it is close to the paint color on the window wall. the texture of the bevel made more of a difference in the look, than the pattern of the crackle, so that is how i decided. plus, i'm fine with the lower maintenance option. :)now i have to go exchange all of my outlets and covers, which i bought in white........See MoreWhite paint color to pair w/ white subway tile in bathroom?
Comments (8)If trim in MBr doesn't work, try White Dove. Without seeing the tile in person I can't advise as to whether it will work. I like to prime and paint a piece of trim (about 12" or so) so I can get a good idea of the color and carry it around with me. White Dove is a no, go with a white that doesn't have obvious tones jumping out at you (yellow, pink) when you compare the tile and paint side by side. Again, working up a trim sample is always better than choosing off the paint chip. Try Cotton Balls (OC 122), Cloud White (OC-130), or Decorators White...See MoreRecs for white paint with white subway tile
Comments (2)Thanks Karen! I appreciate your opinion! paint is hard!! as far as my kitchen goes, I'm planning navy perimeter cabinets with white tops. the backsplash is white subway with dark charcoal grout. there will be a stained open shelf along the main wall surrounding the vent hood. so no upper cabs. I can include a picture, cabinets installed next week. thanks for advice!!...See More

4 years agolast modified: 4 years agohave you gone to a regular tile store? they carry all brands and all those off-white colors. you'll have better luck going there then shopping online.
Try Emser at those stores.
you could also do Fireclay Tile. these are their 4x4's. they have about 10 different 'whites'.
Calcite, Gardenia, Tusk, Ivory,,,,all may be good choices. These are a little pricier, but they are beautifully made tiles. and they have 6x6 toohttps://www.fireclaytile.com/subway-tile/colors
they'll ship you 5 free sample colors
