What is an acceptable variance in colour for a ceramic tile?
Ceramic tiles normally do have a colour variation. Some ceramic tiles have intentional colour variations while others are monochromatic. Prior to selection look through many tiles to obtain an accurate representation of the full colour range. Ceramic tiles vary with each manufacturing run as well as within the same run. Manufacturers who wish to offer a limited range of colour will sort the manufacturing runs out in shade lots. DO NOT mix different shades unless you wish to do so intentionally and if you do so mix them randomly. Be aware that tile size also varies with each batch and that it can be almost impossible to match an existing tile.
