The color and patter I felt matched perfectly with the already aqua colored stove and sink.

They are in the "CX" section. But all sections are worth looking at: http://congoleum.com/com-tile.html Please also be sure to take a look at the Azrock Cortina - also a nice, streaky tile. Someone told me the Azrock also is "thicker" -- which I think they alluded to meaning that it was better quality. But I am not sure of either claim - have not had time to check it out.
