I have slightly expanded my bathroom and want to rip up the old and dated tile and re-tile the entire floor (in other words, my girlfriend wants us to re-tile the entire floor).
We have easily located a tile for the floor itself, a greyish 6x6" tile. The issue is with the border that goes around the edge and comes partway up the wall (analogous to wooden baseboard molding); we think it's called something like "cove" or "sanitary".
Anyhow, the old stuff is a beautiful sort of burgundy/maroon/claret color, and it looks awesome with the new floor tile and the wall paint color; but since the bathroom is somewhat larger, it's not really an option to re-use it. So we're trying to find something similar and are completely striking out. Lots of google searches and trips to Lowe's and Home Depot. People just don't seem to stock colors that are this "bold". So I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for us. Thanks.
Attached is a photo showing a piece of the new floor tile (on top of the irrelevant old floor tile), along with the yellow walls, and the border tile that will be discarded, and which I'd like to find a somewhat similar match for. (The white to the left is the molded tub enclosure).
