colour
Color (American English) or colour (Commonwealth English) is the visual perceptual property corresponding in humans to the categories called blue, green, red, etc. Color derives from the spectrum of light (distribution of light power versus wavelength) interacting in the eye with the spectral sensitivities of the light receptors. Color categories and physical specifications of color are also associated with objects or materials based on their physical properties such as light absorption, reflection, or emission spectra. By defining a color space colors can be identified numerically by their coordinates.
Because perception of color stems from the varying spectral sensitivity of different types of cone cells in the retina to different parts of the spectrum, colors may be defined and quantified by the degree to which they stimulate these cells. These physical or physiological quantifications of color, however, do not fully explain the psychophysical perception of color appearance.
The science of color is sometimes called chromatics, colorimetry, or simply color science. It includes the perception of color by the human eye and brain, the origin of color in materials, color theory in art, and the physics of electromagnetic radiation in the visible range (that is, what is commonly referred to simply as light).
I have grouted a floor using the BAL Smoke grey however it is not coming out that colour and is very patchy. Some bits are light grey and some are dark. It has also happened to me before. I am using a fresh clean bucket, added water and stirred with my hand with a glove on to get the right...
I just wanted to know what your preference is regarding silicone.
I used to always use whit on white for silicone, down to baths, showers or basin.
Now I tend to use a colour match all around.
Just wondering how everyone else does it?
Hi all
So I've just grouted a floor in ardex fl barley sugar

Any ideas ?
Thanks
I've just tiled my bathroom and started grouting tonight with Bal micromax gunmetal. The grouts been down approx. 4 hours and looks to be drying very patchy colour wise. Most of it looks to be drying fairly light, while some smaller areas are a totally different shade. Granted, I appreciate it...

Hello All,
My story: I’m not a tiler, but getting a house built, so had to choose tiles & grouts. Due to traveling, I had to choose from one brand (Sopro), while the tiler preferred colour in another brand (Mapei).
I wanted to match the colours online to send the correct code - just to face...
My tiler has currently got white metal edging strips tacked up (unfinished job) as shown in photo below. Is this the best way to finish travertine external corners? It doesn't look great to my eye...
Also struggling with grout colour. I had thought white. The tiler has recommended ivory...
Hi,
I've got ceramic tiles that are stone effect with a very light grey, almost white, colour; I've also got several bags of grey Keraflex adhesive.
Ideally I guess I should use white adhesive, realistically is there likely to be a colour bleed problem with the grey ?
I have 30m2 of travertine to seal,
I have done the research and came to conclusion that the LTP will be good for my needs.
However... I'm not sure which one to get -the regular Mattstone or Colour Intensifier Sealer..
-How much does each of the sealers change the appearance of the tile?
-Has...

We were originally going to go for mapei anthracite, I don't fancy spending weeks removing the grout?!
Would something like mapei fruga...
Morning all, is there a product out there that will re-colour white grout? I have a customer who has a new build with a kitchen tiled in white metros which is grouted in white. However they want the grout to be grey or black. Just thought I'd ask in case there is a way around removing all the...
Hello to everyone
I'm LizzieLee and I hope that some people here might be able to help me?!
I hand engrave new and used roofing slate - usually fairly small pieces.
As some of my work needs to go outside, I found that sealing it with Adseal Invisiseal worked great over the engraving - keeping...
Hi guys.
Hoping someone could help me out.
I've been asked to replace some broken tiles and I'm not sure what colour grout this was originally.
Customer says more of a brown as she can't remember. I'm thinking more dark grey that's now very dirty?
Thanks.
hi, done some grouting today and upon drying - sections look greyish (meant to be white!!)- up close its hard to notice it but it is definently grey from a distance. I used powdered mapei grout, though i think my mixture likely had a little to much water in it maybe as i've noticed some...
