Hudson
Hudson.
Five New York neighborhoods, five mono-colors — the polished subway tile in its most contemporary form.
Five colorways named for New York neighborhoods — Bowery Beige, Downtown Nero, Greenwich Green, Tribeca Blue, Village Bianco — each a single mono-color tile in a 2"x9" polished porcelain format. Indoor and backsplash applications only (PEI 3); the polished surface reads as refined and quiet, optimized for residential walls rather than hospitality statement. Most discreet collection in the lineup — the wall surface that supports the room rather than competing with it.

Hudson is specified at PEI 3 with suitability limited to indoor walls and backsplash applications. The polished finish and 2x9 dimensional format are optimized for residential interior wall installs — kitchens, baths, powder rooms, accent walls. For outdoor or wet-area subway applications (pool, shower, exterior), Espana, Caribbean, or Kingston are the suitable alternatives within the porcelain collection.
Polished is a softer, more diffuse reflectivity — light bounces evenly across the surface rather than producing the high specular highlights of a gloss glaze. The result reads as more refined and subdued, which makes Hudson feel less hospitality-grade and more residential-luxury. Gloss tiles call attention to themselves; polished tiles let the wall recede.
Each colorway is sold individually by the box. Designers commonly spec a single colorway across an entire install (most common pattern) or use two colors as a horizontal break or border accent. Mixing more than two of the five tends to read as busy.
