What kind of tile is Latte?
We stock Latte as porcelain in a fluted shape, 5X10. Charisma White Ceramic Tile and Cappuccino sit in the same style family if you want to compare. It reads white-warm. Shade variation is slight to moderate between pieces. Porcelain is the hard-wearing end of the fired-clay family: dense body, tight edges, and no sealing.
Sizes and finishes
How it is actually sold — measured off the spec sheet, not rounded.
Sizes
Latte is made in a single size, 5X10. That makes layout simple — what you see in the sample is the module you get across the whole wall.

Planning the wall
What Latte works out to on your wall, from its own published size.
| Size (inches) | Pieces per 10 sq ft | Grout line per sq ft |
|---|---|---|
| 5×10 | 29 | 3.6 ft |
Arithmetic on the published size; a straight grid layout. Herringbone and other patterns cut more pieces.
At 5×10, Latte puts about 29 pieces on every 10 square feet of wall and about 3.6 feet of grout line on every square foot.
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.

Latte or Cappuccino?
Latte and Cappuccino are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, collection, style, glaze type, shade-variation rating, certifications and size. What separates them:
- Measured off each swatch, Latte reads #E1DFD8 (very light, essentially neutral) and Cappuccino reads #CFBFAB (light, warm), so Latte sits lighter than Cappuccino on the wall.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Shade variation: V2 — slight variation
Clearly the same tile throughout, with small differences in tone between pieces. Most people never notice it once it is grouted.
Certifications
Certified to Greenguard Indoor Air Quality Certified.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Latte itself, not from its name.
We measured this tile's own swatch at #E1DFD8 — very light and essentially neutral. The closest color we hold pairing data for is Cream / Antique White, 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
- Sage Green — muted green loves creamy warmth. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials solid
Countertop
- Green / Dramatic Veined Stone — dramatic green stone over quiet cream boxes. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element current
Island
- Walnut — Cream perimeter cabinets let a walnut island play the furniture piece, and cream forgives the slow amber shift walnut takes on in a sunny room.. Against this surface it is much darker than this surface, so the tile reads as the light element classic
Backsplash
- Terracotta / Clay — Cream cabinets give terracotta tile room to glow instead of shout — the pairing ages like a Marseille farmhouse, better every year the glaze crazes.. Against this surface it is a step darker — enough separation to read as two materials current
Steer away from
- Pure White — cream next to pure white makes the cream look dirty — pick one white family

Questions about Latte
Answered from this product’s own spec sheet and our measurement of it.
What size is Latte?
Latte comes in one size, 5X10. One module across the whole wall keeps the layout simple — what you approve in the sample is what you get.
Where can I use Latte?
Its maker rates it for flooring, and not for outdoors. 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?
Latte is rated V2 — slight variation. Clearly the same tile throughout, with small differences in tone that most people stop noticing once it is grouted.
What color is Latte, really?
We measured its own swatch at #E1DFD8 — very 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 Latte need sealing?
No. Porcelain is vitrified almost to zero water absorption. The tile itself never needs sealing; cement grout still benefits from it.
