A QUICK REMINDER: Color samples should be used only as a guide in selecting colors. Because of the nature of the raw materials in the products we receive from our suppliers can vary from batch to batch. This coupled with the fact that our Standard Marble, Marblecast, and Marblestone colors are mixed and veined by hand means that color shades, veining patterns and amounts of veining will vary in each piece just as with natural stone. We strive for as much consistency as possible in all of our colors and products, but it is virtually impossible to exactly duplicate today an item or sample that was made in the past.
