Shade Variation
The Differing Degrees Between Each Tile
CTDA Color Guide
The colors and shading of each tile will vary to some degree from piece to piece and from run to run. It is recommended that several tile pieces from the same production run be examined in order to determine color shade variation. Any questions or concerns about your tile selection should be clarified prior to installation.
V1 - Uniform Appearance
Differences among pieces from the same production run are minimal.
V2 - Slight Variation
Clearly distinguishable differences in texture and/or pattern within similar colors.
V3 - Moderate Variation
While the colors present on a single piece of tile will be indicative of the colors to be expected on the other tile pieces, the amount of colors on each tile may vary significantly. For example "that little bit of color" on one piece of tile may be the primary color on the next piece.
V4 - Substantial Variation
Random color differences from tile to tile, so that one tile may have totally different colors from that of other tile pieces. Thus the final installation will be unique.
