@duffwny - if you really want to see what Cloe tile looks like, I suggest ordering a box from Lowe’s or Amazon (Walmart might also have it - I bought a different color of Cloe tile through Walmart last year because the return policy allowed me to take it back to a brick and mortar Walmart store - even though it was shipped to me directly from Bedrosian). Both have free shipping and free returns. Also, when I purchased it - and placed a bunch of tiles out on my kitchen island, it looked like it had less color variation - but when I took a photo of it with my phone, the variation looked the same as in other photos I’d seen posted on Houzz and on Bedrosian’s IG page. The price of Cloe tile has dramatically increased since I purchased it for my kitchen + bathroom two years ago - I think it was about $6.99 sf! Lowe’s has a 90 day return policy (can return to actual store and save shipping cost): Amazon has free shipping and free returns for 30 days (fyi - I have seen the price fluctuate quite a bit on Amazon): This says ”Free 30 day returns” - but then has 90 days when clicked. When I purcjased, I called and was told I could return to a Walmart store within 90 days.

Karen, accessible beige would look awesome. Would love to see it finished if you do end up using the Prado. Prado absolutely has the warmth and brown in the vein, with some gray too. Plus, the Prado looks way more natural IMO to all the other Quartz. If you like the look of the Prado, you should also look into Vadara Quartz if it’s available near you. Vadara will be a little more $ probably. But they’re my fav manufacturer, about 75% of their colors are also extremely natural looking. Not so much of that stark artificial white, but more of a milky marble looking style. Look up Sereno Gold or Calacatta Oro. Those would also look fantastic with the beige paint. 😊

You are wise to wait until everything else is in before choosing the backsplash. Just one word of caution: be sure to have it IN WRITING that there will not be a 4” backsplash added to your quartz.. A friend learned the hard way and had to tear the small splash out at her expense because the contractor assumed it was needed since another backsplash had not been chosen yet. Good luck!

can you get a sheet of it and hold it up against the backsplash area? lets see how it looks. one of the best off white/grayish grout colors is Warm Gray from Mapei. As for the actual arabesque tile you've got, I'd prob choose something else. What about this scallop shape? The tile is on sale and the color is perfect for your cabinets. https://www.bedrosians.com/en/product/detail/sorrento-tile/?itemNo=DECSORFIOWAVG also comes in many other shapes/sizes like this subway or a chevron (which can be laid in a few diff ways) Don't forget to remove the 4" counter backsplash you have now. that should come down if you're doing tile. it's easy to pry off the wall. lots of tutorials. Calacatta marble beveled tiles like this would also be a perfect match w/your cabs: you could also look at the Cloe tile in the gray, or the Portmore (tilebar) Pebble gray color in this square https://www.bedrosians.com/en/product/detail/marin-tile/?itemNo=100003167 Or even the pearl white
