The hardest part about selling mosaic tiles online is color matching. Everyone's monitors are set differently so everyone's monitors will show the tile colors differently.
Recently I sent out an order that had a sheet of Marmelade and a sheet of Islands. The customer stated that the Marmelade was different on her monitor but the Islands matched perfectly. She couldn't understand how this happens.
Think of it like this...Marmelade is orange and Islands is blue. The color settings on your monitor that produce orange are different than the ones that produce blue. So it is possible to have one that is close and another that is totally off.
So what is the best answer to this never ending problem? Samples, samples, samples! If color is extremely important to you then order a sample. On www.tileshack.com you can order a sample board, full sheet of tile, or just a small 25 tiles swatch. Yes, dyelots are going to change but it isn't by much so your tiles will still be very close later on down the road. This will also save you time and frustration.
