What kind of tile is Black Matte 2” Hexagon Mosaic Tile?
We stock Black Matte 2” Hexagon Mosaic Tile as porcelain in a hexagon shape, 2x2. It reads black. It comes as mesh-backed mosaic sheet, which sets faster than loose pieces. Porcelain is ceramic fired denser and harder, so it absorbs almost no water and holds a cut edge around an outlet.

Black Matte 2” Hexagon Mosaic Tile or White Matte 2” Hexagon Mosaic Tile?
Black Matte 2” Hexagon Mosaic Tile and White Matte 2” Hexagon Mosaic Tile are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, collection, style, size and finish. What separates them:
- Measured off each swatch, Black Matte 2” Hexagon Mosaic Tile reads #131211 (very dark, essentially neutral) and White Matte 2” Hexagon Mosaic Tile reads #E4E5E3 (very light, essentially neutral), so Black Matte 2” Hexagon Mosaic Tile sits darker than White Matte 2” Hexagon Mosaic Tile on the wall.

What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Black Matte 2” Hexagon Mosaic Tile itself, not from its name.
Read off its own swatch, Black Matte 2” Hexagon Mosaic Tile measures #131211: very dark, essentially neutral. We match that to Black / Charcoal Stone and build the pairings from there. It sits close to neutral, which means it will take direction from the cabinets rather than fight them.
Cabinets
- Pure White — tuxedo scheme; hides counter mess that white counters broadcast. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes classic
- Natural / White Oak — black leathered stone gives oak an edge. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes solid
