We're removing the brick and plan to use tile (because we do that work) to cover the fireplace. Our plan is to extend the tile with a ledge across the entire wall (15'). We need help with the tile selection.

Here are the considerations:

• The area doesn't get much light (natural or otherwise).
• The room is opened up to the kitchen and separate eating area. The fireplace really needs to speak to the colors (lower cabinets) in order to look cohesive.
• Kitchen lowers are BM Tempest (sort of a greyed out purple, a bit smokey), uppers are a creamy white, counter is marble looking quartz, and fixtures are brushed gold. These colors are more subtle than we usually like.
• Our furnishings are quite colorful with blue, yellow and red/orange tones.
• I can not take any more gray, especially in the cool tones or cement looking.

We've brought home dozens of tile samples but can't find the right one.

Please help!
