yes, Mapei Flexcolor CQ, Warm Grey. It comes premixed in a container.
Here's an overall shot. I also used it on the marble floor. It's the perfect gray tone without being too blue or too tan.
here's a close up.
my tiles were from my tile supplier. there wasn't any particular maker on the box. I just picked them from the sample board on the wall.
4x12, ceramic. they are a brighter white than the DalTile brand at Home Depot.
Mapei. 2 of their whites in case you want to compare.
if you do pick a white subway, make sure to compare tones of white, and buy the bullnose pieces to finish your edging.
you don't want to place your tiles vertically on the end. that's a cheap and easy way for the tile guy to do it.
make sure your tile guy does a dry layout so you don't end up w/slivers in the corner.
this is a bad tile layout. the edges look horrendous. buy the bullnose or some type of liner. he also screwed up in the corners. when you wrap the corners, it should be a continuation of the previous tile or design. he didn't do that.
if possible, move your outlets to the under the cabs, or place them horizontally somewhere. not in the middle of the wall: it's not mandatory but it sure looks a lot better when you don't see outlets in the middle of your wall every 3 feet.
lastly, use a 2x8, or 3x9 size tile if you can. and please reconsider something besides the offset layout. there is nothing to be hesitant about. it's only a tile backsplash. every other kitchen has 3x6 white subways. At least go w/the herringbone or a stack layout, or vertical, or a 45 degree herringbone,,,,anything else !
this is the 45 degree herringbone. with bright white grout. I would never recommend a bright white w/white tile, especially w/a design. It looks like a white sheet. you need some contrast
