Pietra Grey

A grey that appears neutral on screen can read differently beside oak, black metal or a white wall. Place the actual palette together and check whether the chosen combination feels deliberately warm, cool or balanced. In a connected room sequence, compare the transition rather than approving each material alone.

• Put the adjoining floor finish beside this tile.
• View the palette at the main threshold.

The laying orientation can emphasise the length or width of the room. A joint near the main ground tone softens that rhythm, while stronger contrast outlines the pieces. Show the room boundaries and the first alignment line so the installer can review the planned cuts.

• Review several mineral faces before setting out.
• Mark the principal row and perimeter pieces.

A grey sample can quickly become one of several similar pieces on a project desk. Label the Pietra Grey reference with its model identifier and retain the multi-face image that was reviewed with it. Note whether the buyer preferred its restrained mineral detail, its background tone or its relationship with a particular adjoining finish. If a different grey is proposed later, compare those recorded qualities rather than assuming any nearby shade is interchangeable. This is useful when purchasing and installation are handled by different people: the person receiving a sample should be able to understand what was selected without relying on someone else’s memory of a showroom conversation.

• Retain the reviewed mineral image with the labelled sample.
• Write down the selected grey’s role beside the adjoining finish.
