Sizes
Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile is made in 3 sizes. Size is the decision people skip and then notice every day: it sets how much grout line ends up in the field, and a larger module on the same wall reads calmer than a small one.

Planning the wall
What Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile works out to on your wall, from its own published sizes.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 12×24 | 5 | 1.5 ft |
| 3×18 | 27 | 4.7 ft |
| 2×2 | 360 | 12 ft |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
Between its 3 sizes, the piece count on a 10-square-foot wall runs from about 5 (12×24) to about 360 (2×2).
12×24 · 3×18 are large-format — any edge of 15 inches or more — and large-format tile needs a flatter wall than small tile does, so we check the wall before we quote it.
Counts are before cuts — outlets, window returns and the ends of a run all take pieces. The install itself, from wall prep to caulk, is on our backsplash installation page.

Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile or Ansello Ivory Ceramic Tile?
Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile and Ansello Ivory Ceramic Tile are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, collection, style, glaze type, PEI rating, shade-variation rating, certifications and sizes. What separates them:
- Measured off each swatch, Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile reads #A29A95 (mid-light, essentially neutral) and Ansello Ivory Ceramic Tile reads #9D998A (mid-light, warm), so Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile sits about as light as Ansello Ivory Ceramic Tile on the wall.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Shade variation: V3 — moderate variation
Moderate variation is where a sample stops telling the whole story. Look at a few pieces, and insist the boxes get shuffled and dry-laid before anything is set.
Wear rating: PEI 3
Its abrasion class is PEI 3 of a possible 5, meaning walls, counters and normal residential floors — the usual rating for a kitchen.
Certifications
What it holds: Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. Gold is not a marketing tier — it caps what the material is allowed to give off indoors, measurably lower than the base certification. It earns LEED credit as well, where a project is counting them.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile itself, not from its name.
Forget the name for a moment. The swatch measures #A29A95 — mid-light and essentially neutral — which puts it nearest Concrete / Cement Gray in our pairing data. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.
Cabinets
- Pure White — soft modern; keeps a small kitchen light without going all-white. Against this surface it is a step lighter, which lifts the surface without washing it out solid
Backsplash
- Terracotta / Clay — Concrete gray is the cold plunge terracotta needs — without it the clay goes theme-restaurant, with it the wall reads earthy and editorial.. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current
Steer away from
- Light Gray — Flat gray on flat gray is the 2015 flip-house special — no undertone tension, so the whole room goes dishwater the moment the light drops.

Questions about Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile?
Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile comes in 3 sizes: 12x24 · 3x18 · 2x2. Pick the size before the color. It decides how much grout line ends up in the field, and on the same wall a larger module reads calmer than a small one.
Where can I use Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile?
Its maker rates it for flooring. We hold to that rating when we quote — installing outside it is how a warranty claim gets denied.
Will the tiles match the sample I saw?
Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile is rated V3 — moderate variation. Expect visible differences in shade and pattern between pieces. Choose from several, and have the installer dry-lay and shuffle boxes before setting.
Can Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile go on a floor?
Yes. At PEI 3 it is rated for normal residential floors as well as walls and counters — the usual rating for a kitchen.
What color is Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile, really?
We measured its own swatch at #A29A95 — mid-light and essentially neutral. It sits close to neutral, so it takes direction from the cabinets rather than fighting them. Names are marketing; that number is what the camera saw.
Does Ansello Gray Ceramic Tile need sealing?
No. A glazed ceramic face is already impervious. The tile needs no sealing — the grout between it is what wants attention.
