In a product like terracotta, the limited colour range is not considered a "limit" but a virtue, a characteristic and identifying aspect: terracotta is beautiful, appreciated and sought after precisely because it is of that typical colour ("terracotta" colour)' a colour that evokes nature and tradition; a colour to be enhanced (but not change) by the treatments generally applied to tiled surfaces.

Porcelain stoneware does not possess a similar uniqueness of colour, so the evolution and development of new products and solutions take an entirely different direction. Its wealth of colour solutions is further enhanced by the possibility of creating glossy and reflective surfaces through polishing. Many porcelain products are thus available in the market with both untreated and polished surfaces.
