For decades, our Original Ceramic Tile has been a cornerstone of American design, handcrafted in our California factory since 1986. Today, we're thrilled to reintroduce our heritage collection with a refreshed palette of colors, each now available in both a slip-resistant matte and a luminous gloss finish.
As design lovers, we understand the power of the perfect color. With this in mind, we’ve thoughtfully redesigned our palette – archiving slow-moving colors in an effort to make way for more new products, and developing nine new shades for our Original Ceramic collection. Need an archived color? They’re still available through our reps – just ask your design consultant!
Meet Our New Original Ceramic Tile Colors
Each of these nine new additions has been crafted with intention, designed to evoke a specific mood and offer unparalleled versatility in your projects. These are the shades that resonate with the moment, the colors that ignite inspiration and allow designers to truly articulate their vision. This is where the legacy of American craft meets the evolving language of color.
- Garnet: Experience the deep, inviting embrace of a rich maroon, like a well-loved wine catching the light and adding a layer of sophisticated warmth.
- Kalamata: Versatile and impactful, this nuanced deep taupe carries an elegant hint of purple, reminiscent of a moonlit olive grove.
- Limewash: A cool, creamy white that carries a drop of green pigment, giving this foundational neutral remarkable depth.
- Bonsai: With warm brown undertones enhancing this classic olive green, Bonsai offers a retro sensibility that remains effortlessly stylish and widely admired.
- Sweet Pea: Dusty rosewood. Toasted almond. Sweet Pea is a warm neutral with blush undertones that seamlessly fits into any style.
- Mauve: Feel the subtle warmth of sun-baked earth infused with a whisper of rose; this rich terracotta offers a grounded warmth with a touch of romanticism.
- Lone Pine: Like sunlight filtering through a canopy of deep green, Lone Pine is an earthy, verdant hue that brings an organic richness to any design.
- Thistle: A cool lavender-grey that subtly shifts, reading as a sophisticated neutral in bright light while adding depth and a modern edge in softer illumination.
- Chaparral: Dare to defy the expected. Chaparral’s mustard green shade possessed an undeniable magnetism, instantly transforming any space into a statement.
Your Vision, Your Finish
We’re excited to announce that now every color in our refreshed Original Ceramic Tile collection is available in both a beautiful gloss and a durable, DCOF-rated matte finish. This means that the perfect color for your project is now readily available in your ideal finish, whether you prioritize light-reflecting sheen or enhanced slip-resistance (or both!).
Coupled with our extensive selection of 40 sizes and shapes, our new finish options put complete creative control firmly in your hands, inviting truly boundless expression in your designs.
Ceramic Stains Built for the Floor
We’re also pleased to introduce new Ceramic Stains in our Original Ceramic product line – four richly nuanced ceramic stains designed to ground a space with warmth and texture. The earthy tones and high color variation of Redwood, Antique, Burnt Umber, and Graphite bring subtle movement and visual depth to any surface.
Their natural variation makes them especially compelling at scale, while a DCOF-rated matte finish ensures traction and beauty underfoot. These are made for designers who want color with character – and staying power.
