Custom pool mosaic gradient transitioning from warm sand tones to deep blue

Blend or gradient?

A blend mixes several tile colors throughout a surface. A gradient changes their proportions across a planned distance, creating a transition from one color to another.

Both are developed for your project. A consistent blue blend can connect a pool and spa; a gradient can move from pale aqua to deep blue, or from sand tones into the water.

Where gradients work

Pool floors: a color transition across the pool or a consistent blend throughout.

Spas and steps: a coordinated palette across seating, walls and changes in level.

Waterlines and feature walls: a vertical or horizontal transition designed for the surface.

Ready-made gradients

Six gradients to start from. Each runs from its first color to its last across the length you set. Open one in the blend builder to change the colors or the direction.

How it works

We start with your colors, surface dimensions and the direction the gradient should travel. The transition is drawn for that distance rather than stretched from a standard sheet.

Light, water depth and nearby finishes affect how the tile reads. We review the palette and sample details before production so your project team can approve the design direction.

Share your plans, approximate surface dimensions, preferred colors and target schedule. We review the scope and develop a custom sample board once the project is confirmed.

Finished mosaics arrive paper-faced in numbered sections with a keyed layout. Your tile setter or project team handles installation.

Common questions

What is the difference between a blend and a gradient?

A blend mixes several tile colors throughout a surface. A gradient changes their proportions across a planned distance, creating a transition from one color to another.

Is there a mosaic tile gradient generator?

Yes. Our blend builder is a free gradient and blend generator for glass mosaic tile: pick colors, set the direction and length, see it at real scale and send it to the studio for a quote.

Will the tile look like it does on my screen?

Swatches are drawn from photos of our glass, and screens vary. Water and lighting also change how a palette reads, so a sample board is approved before production.

How far can a gradient run?

Any distance. The transition is drawn for your surface rather than stretched from a standard sheet.

Can one blend connect a pool and spa?

Yes. A consistent blend can carry across a pool, spa, steps and walls.

Can a gradient go on a kitchen backsplash or shower wall?

Yes. Gradients and blends work on pools, spas, kitchen backsplashes and shower walls; the transition is drawn for the height or length of the surface.

Can you make a gradient in ceramic tile?

We make gradients in glass mosaic only. Glass keeps its color under water and in sun, and comes in over 1,000 colors to grade between.

Which glass is used in blends?

Smalto for the body of a field, Translucent where light should pass through it, Iridescent where it should shift with the angle. Marble and smalti go in where the design asks for them.

How is a blend delivered?

Paper-faced, in numbered sections with a keyed layout. Your tile setter or project team handles installation.
