What kind of tile is Night Sky Subway 2x6x8mm?
We stock Night Sky Subway 2x6x8mm as glass, 2x6. It reads night sky. Glass throws light back into the room, which is most of why it ends up behind a range in a north-facing kitchen. Ace preps the wall flat first, sets the tile, grouts the next day and caulks the countertop joint.

Night Sky Subway 2x6x8mm or Chilcott Bright Subway Tile 2x6?
Night Sky Subway 2x6x8mm and Chilcott Bright Subway Tile 2x6 are easy to confuse on a sample board: they share the same material, collection, certifications, size and finish. What separates them:
- Measured off each swatch, Night Sky Subway 2x6x8mm reads #96A092 (mid-light, green-leaning) and Chilcott Bright Subway Tile 2x6 reads #B0BBB6 (light, near-neutral), so Night Sky Subway 2x6x8mm sits darker than Chilcott Bright Subway Tile 2x6 on the wall.
What to expect once it is installed
The ratings that decide whether the finished wall matches the sample.
Certifications
On the certification side, Greenguard Gold · USGBC/LEED. The Gold standard was written for schools, which is a stricter bar than a kitchen would ever have to clear. Worth a LEED credit too, on the jobs that track them.
What to put next to it
Built from the color we measured off Night Sky Subway 2x6x8mm itself, not from its name.
Measured, not guessed: #96A092, mid-light and green-leaning. The nearest color we hold pairings for is Concrete / Cement Gray. It sits close to neutral, which means it will take direction from the cabinets rather than fight them.
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.
