What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
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 Dekora 5.2x5.2 Tile itself, not from its name.
Forget the name for a moment. The swatch measures #422C1E — deep and warm — which puts it nearest Espresso in our pairing data. It reads as a neutral, so it will sit behind whatever else you choose instead of competing with it.
Countertop
- White Veined (Marble-Look) — the refresh move: white quartz instantly modernizes espresso boxes. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes solid
- Warm Speckled Stone (Granite) — the 2008 set — honest but aging; modernize with slab tops instead. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes dated
Hardware
- Brushed Nickel — safe metal on dark wood. Against this surface it is much lighter, so the cabinets carry the room and this recedes solid
Steer away from
- Navy — two heavy darks with clashing undertones — the room sinks
