Calacatta Gold Matte 1x3 Herringbone or Calacatta Gold Matte 1x6 Stack Pattern?
Calacatta Gold Matte 1x3 Herringbone and Calacatta Gold Matte 1x6 Stack Pattern are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, collection, certifications, color listing and finish. What separates them:
- Calacatta Gold Matte 1x3 Herringbone is made in 1"x3"; Calacatta Gold Matte 1x6 Stack Pattern in 1"x6". On 10 square feet of wall that is about 480 pieces of Calacatta Gold Matte 1x3 Herringbone against about 240 of Calacatta Gold Matte 1x6 Stack Pattern, and 16 against 14 feet of grout line per square foot.
- Measured off each swatch, Calacatta Gold Matte 1x3 Herringbone reads #E6E5E4 (very light, essentially neutral) and Calacatta Gold Matte 1x6 Stack Pattern reads #E8E7E9 (very light, essentially neutral), so Calacatta Gold Matte 1x3 Herringbone sits about as light as Calacatta Gold Matte 1x6 Stack Pattern on the wall.
What to expect once it is installed

48 pieces per sheet
Sold by the sheet, 48 pieces to each one, held on mesh backing. The mesh does the work of keeping the grid square; the installer’s job becomes lining sheet to sheet. Outlets and the ends of a run are where that gets decided, so we walk the layout before anything is set.

Certified to Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Calacatta Gold Matte 1x3 Herringbone itself, not from its name.
We measured this tile's own swatch at #E6E5E4 — very light and essentially neutral. The closest color we hold pairing data for is White Veined (Marble-Look), so that is what the recommendations below are built from. Close enough to neutral that the cabinets get to make the decisions; this will follow them.
Cabinets
- Pure White — the bright gallery kitchen — veining supplies the movement plain white lacks. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast classic
- Charcoal — inverted tuxedo — dark base, light top. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
- Oxblood Burgundy — Dried-wine cabinetry under crisp veined white is old-London-pub-meets-gallery, and neither half will ever look dated.. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
- Sage Green — keeps green kitchens bright. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials current
Island
- Navy — white top lightens the dark base. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
- Walnut — Cool white veining over chocolate walnut is the tuxedo of islands — the wood deepens with a decade of hand oil while the stone stays crisp above it.. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
- Forest / Emerald — white stone keeps deep green from swallowing light. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element solid
Backsplash
- Pure White — run the slab up the wall — one material, zero grout. Against this surface it is close in weight, so the two will blend rather than contrast current
