- Rojo Alicante: a Spanish red marble known for strong red tones with cream or white veining. We carry it in checkerboard sets paired with Bianco Carrara or Thassos White.
- Rosso Verona: an Italian red marble, also called Verona red marble or red Verona marble, with warm red and pink-brown tones and visible veining. We carry Rosso Verona 12x12 marble tile.
Availability and sizes change, so check each product page. Learn more about marble itself in what is marble and marble types.
Dark Red and Red Brown Marble
Dark red marble reads as deep wine, burgundy or brick. Red brown marble and reddish brown marble lean earthier and warmer. For a warm brown with red undertones, see Emperador Dark, the Emperador guide and brown stone tile. Travertine like Noce and Walnut adds brown warmth in a more rustic style.
Red Veined Marble and Marble With Red Veins
Red veined marble, or marble with red veins, is usually a white or light stone with red, burgundy or violet veining. Calacatta Viola is a good example, with bold violet-burgundy movement across a white base. Red vein marble gives pattern without a fully red room, so it suits kitchens, baths and feature walls. See Calacatta marble and Calacatta vs Carrara for how veining varies.
Red and White, Red and Yellow, Red and Green Marble
Red and White Marble
Red and white marble has high contrast. Pair a red stone with white marble, Thassos White or Bianco Carrara in a checkerboard, border or inset.
Red and Yellow Marble
Red and yellow marble blends red tones with cream and gold. For a warm pairing, try red marble with gold/yellow travertine, gold stone tile or Ivory Light travertine.
Red and Green Marble
Red and green are opposites on the color wheel. For a bold traditional look, pair red with Ming Green, Empress Green or the green marble collection. See the green marble guide.
Textured, Weathered and Multicolored Marble
Textured marble, weathered marble and even shattered marble describe surface character, not a stone type. A tumbled marble finish gives a weathered, soft-edged look, and split-face stone tile adds real texture. For multicolored marble with reds, golds and browns, see Spanish Mix marble. Read stone tile finishes for how each looks.
Light Colored Marble and Natural Stone Color
If red is too bold, light colored marble gives calm. Beige and cream marble and Botticino pair gently with a red accent. Yes, marble is a natural stone, quarried from the earth, and its colors come from natural minerals, so every tile is different. Order from one lot for a consistent match, see the same-lot guarantee.
Where to Use Red Marble Tile
- Feature wall or fireplace: a dramatic focal point.
- Accent or inset: a small area in marble mosaic tile.
- Floor or entry: a bold statement. Use our natural stone floor tile guide and entryway tile.
- Bath or kitchen: bathroom tile and kitchen tile. In wet areas, natural stone needs sealing and a proper waterproofing system.
Red marble is a soft, polished stone, so read how to seal marble tile and the care guide. Compare finishes in polished marble and honed marble.
Styling Red Marble
Red marble is a statement, so give it room to shine. Keep walls, cabinets and fixtures in calm neutrals such as cream, ivory or soft white, and let the stone carry the color. Warm metals like brass and bronze suit red tones, and black accents add drama. A little goes a long way: a red marble inset in a white floor, a red mosaic backsplash or a fireplace surround is often enough. For a softer look, choose a honed finish, which mutes the shine and deepens the tone. For a high-gloss, formal look, choose polished. Learn the difference in honed vs polished stone, and plan the pattern with stone tile patterns and the tile layout guide.
Choosing Trim and Grout
Match trim to the stone for the cleanest look, see stone trims and edges. A grout slightly lighter or darker than the field will frame red nicely; the grout guide explains the options.
