Hello everyone!
We are looking for really LIGHT gray natural stone tiles, something in the range of RAL Light Gray.
Slate gray is unfortunately too dark. And the granite Viscount White also looks darker.
We would prefer NATURAL STONE over engineered stone, but we are about to give up… are there no light gray natural stones?

Yes, there is, take a look at Kelheim Muschelkalk limestone. However, it is extremely expensive.

That’s exactly the one we installed here.

We have already considered Jura gray; is it really that light?
Limestone is a bit tricky – it is supposed to be rather soft and also sensitive to stains. The stone will be installed in an open living area, meaning kitchen, dining, and living space. In the kitchen, acids and staining liquids like red wine and balsamic vinegar are frequently used. Which surface finish do you have, and how sensitive is it really to scratches and stains? We don’t want a stone that looks worn after just a few years.

Is there possibly a light gray slate or granite?

There are plenty of options.

Travertine floor tiles, Carrara marble, Brac marble which is a limestone, and many other Croatian limestone varieties, most of which come in light beige or gray tones.
