Vanguard Arrecife Iridis Grey is a moody slate-grey mosaic with smoky charcoal, cool silver and subtle blue undertones.
The colour is a mid slate-grey, layered with smoky charcoal and cool silver and cooled further by subtle blue undertones, lifted by an iridescent sheen so it shifts as the light moves. It sits between a pale silver and a deep charcoal, a moody mid-grey with a cool, blue-leaning edge. Across a wall or pool it reads layered, refined and contemporary, a cool grey with real depth and light-catching movement. It works with chrome and brass fixtures, pale stone, timber, white joinery and cool, contemporary schemes.

Where it works
Mosaic is a feature material, and Vanguard Arrecife Iridis Grey's moody, iridescent slate-grey is cool and refined. It makes a strong feature on bathroom walls, splashbacks, shower niches and vanity walls, and it lines a pool or spa for a cool, layered, silver-shifting water look. The small format lets it follow curves and wrap corners in a way sheet tiles cannot, which is why mosaics suit pools and rounded walls. The silver and blue undertones and the iridescence read especially well in raking light and moving water. Whether this particular mosaic is rated for pool and full wet-area use depends on the material and backing, and iridescent finishes especially are worth confirming for pool use. The recommended applications are still being confirmed, so contact us and we can advise on the right fit for your job.
Choosing a finish
Available finishes: TBC
This one reads as iridescent, so the pieces catch and shift the light with a silver sheen over the slate-grey, which is the whole point of the look, and it shows most in sun and moving water. Mosaics come face-mounted or mesh-backed on sheets for easier laying. Grout colour makes a big difference with mosaic: a mid grey grout close to the tone keeps the layered, seamless look and lets the shimmer lead, while a darker or paler grout picks out the pieces. A grout close to the tone is usually the right call here. If you are unsure which finish, backing or grout suits your project, give us a call and we can talk it through.
