Marble is a natural stone that will have unique imperfections and characteristics. Any variations in colour, texture, polish and patterns are not faults. Differences between shipments are to be expected. This clause also applies to ceramic and porcelain with a marble pattern.
COLOUR DIFFERENCE
We endeavour to ensure that all colours are displayed accurately, but you should be aware that colours may appear slightly different from the online images. Firstly, the same image will look different on different devices because the display resolution and the pixel size are different. Secondly, the same products will look different under different color temperature. The warm light is yellow and cool light is blue which will change the product color. Thirdly, the brighter( higher lumens) the room is, the lighter the product will look like. Forthly, The colour may vary from dye lot to dye lot. The supplier cannot guarantee that the colors are exacly the same in different production batches. Where an exact colour match is necessary, the customer must provide a swatch for us to do color match.
