I almost bought a tub in sea salt. I think it is lovely. But, I couldn't justify the design risk when I could only see the finish in a small sink at the store. The tub would be so large, I didn't know if it would be too over the top in my modest style bathroom. I posted this same question several months ago. I'll attach the link.

I've just got to join the chorus here-- those are the best looking corian countertops I've seen! Love them and their curves. It sounds like you are coming around. (Haha-- pun not intended!) Some of these goofs can be blessings in disguises. Just make sure you decide that this is something you are truly okay with and won't give you a little sense of frustration every time you see them (in which case you should *definitely* ask about changing them.) But if you feel like you can truly make peace with it, and embrace those curves, great!

Oldbat2be - thanks for the info. I'll be anxious to see your countertop in! Beausrose - thank you for comments. That tile gets positive comments wherever I take it (and yes, I take it with me shopping). I once had people working in my house (not related to the kitchen work), and one of them said "I hope you picked that blue tile." :) I'd be happy to share the information about it. It's Grazia Essenze in the color Genziana. I added the link below. The tile in the picture is the 13x13cm Neoclassico. It's made in Italy, so beware that it's an unusual size - 13 x 13 cm, which is something close to 5x5". I'm putting 3 of those tiles over the rangetop, on the diagonal, surrounded by straight white tiles, bordered by the 6cm high voluta. Around the kitchen, I will have white tile on the diagonal, with the 3x3 cm blue voluta as an accent. So I'm mixing the voluta and the Neoclassico lines of the Essenze. My problem is that the matching tile in white is in "magnolia" and it's not a bright white. It's more creamy. I really wanted a white tile with the white cabinets and Torquay countertop, but couldn't find one that exact size. So I'm using 6x6 inch Market-Collection Asbury field tile as the background. The sizes aren't exact, but by mixing them straight with the diagonal Grazia accents (and the other way around), I hope it will be okay. I thought it better to have the right color, wrong size, than the wrong color, right size. It looks fine on paper... we'll see. If I have time tomorrow, I'll post the pictures of the sample board of this tile. And get this! When I was pouring over magazines, I found a diagonal accent I liked. I found out who made it, went to a boutique tile store, they located it, and it was ... $195 a tile. I realize some of you reading this might spend that on a tile, but it was over my budget by far. I then found the Grazia - I think the big diagonal tiles are $18 each or something like that. And I love it! Tile is VERY hard for me to pick out (when I did a bathroom, it took me 11 trips to the tile store just to pick a cream tile). But when I found the Grazia, I was done. It's perfect for what I was looking for! So, onto the sink. We went yesterday to see sea salt in person. It is lovely, but was too creamy compared to the Torquay. They had a cashmere there that was lovely with Torquay, but the color didn't match our chip exactly, and our chip didn't match their chip exactly (one was browner, one greyer - they are going to bring this to Kohler's attention), so we were worried about ordering another sink and not being sure of the exact color. Plus it would take 10-12 days to get in. Plus, there is really nothing in my kitchen design that goes with cashmere, even thought it's VERY pretty. It just doesn't add anything to my color scheme. That last is what sold me against cashmere (it IS really pretty though!). So we are going with ... a white Kohler sink (Langlade smart divide). All this, for a white sink. But I think it will be beautiful with the white cabs, white and blue tiles, and Torquay. In addition, it's cheaper, I can get it in 2 days, it's classic and traditional, and it CANNOT be a wrong choice! So white it is! I am hoping it will POP with the other design elements I have. Thanks everyone for your help! I'll post pictures when I find the time! Piglet Here is a link that might be useful: Link to Grazia Essenze Tile

Has anyone found a tile for the backsplash that coordinates with the sea salt sink? I'm debating between white and sea salt for my kitchen sink, too, but with cherry cabinets and white appliances, I am concerned about introducing another color/texture in the tiled backsplash.
