Ivory, White and Cream Stone Compared Side by Side
This is a color page, not a single stone. It pulls together every ivory, white and cream product across marble, travertine, limestone and porcelain so you can compare shades in one grid. If you specifically want the tumbled Ivory travertine line, it has its own page at Ivory travertine; this collection includes those pieces plus the light marbles that make up most of the range. The neighboring warmer tones are on the beige color page.
Telling the shades apart
| Stone | Material | Tone | Finishes here |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ibiza White | Marble | Bright, fine-grained white | Leather, sandblasted |
| Ice White | Marble | Cool white, faint gray | Leather, sandblasted |
| Bursa White | Marble | Soft white, light veins | Leather, sandblasted |
| Corsica Cream | Marble | Warm off-white | Leather, sandblasted |
| Crema Pearl, Moon Cream | Marble | Cream with soft movement | Leather, sandblasted |
| Ivory | Travertine | Pale cream, pitted face | See stone page |
The practical split is white versus cream. Ibiza White and Ice White read as true white next to a blue pool and can glare at midday; Corsica Cream, Crema Pearl and Moon Cream take the edge off. Bursa White sits between the two groups and is the safe pick when the client cannot decide. Ivory travertine is the warmest and has the visible pitting travertine is known for. Colors also shift with finish: sandblasted reads lighter than leather in the same stone.
What is available in this color range
Pool coping makes up the bulk of the collection, in 4x9, 6x12, 12x12, 12x24, 14x24, 16x24, 16x48 and 24x36, with bullnose, eased edge and remodel profiles, in both 1-1/4" and 2". Treads and caps are 24x72 by 2". Pavers run from 6x12 through 24x48 and 36x36. The 6x12 coping and 12x24 formats carry every stone on this page; start there if you want the widest color choice. The full marble line, including grays, is on the marble page.
Why light stone dominates pool decks
Light colors reflect heat, so ivory and white stone stays comfortable under bare feet in a way that gray and brown stone does not. It also brightens the pool water and hides efflorescence and water spots better than dark stone. The trade-off is that spills, sunscreen and leaf tannins show more, so a penetrating sealer and a rinse-down routine matter; our sealing and maintenance guide covers both marble and travertine.
Choosing between them
Modern, straight-edge pool with eased-edge coping: Ibiza White or Ice White, sandblasted. Traditional pool with bullnose coping and a French pattern deck: Ivory travertine or Corsica Cream. Something in between: Bursa White leather. The pool coping colors guide shows these next to water. Samples of any of them can be ordered from the sample page, and it is worth wetting them, since every one of these shades darkens when wet.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Ivory collection and Ivory travertine?
This page is the color family: every ivory, white and cream product across marble, travertine, limestone and porcelain. Ivory travertine is one specific tumbled stone within it and has its own page under the stone collections. Use this page to compare shades, and the stone page to shop that one material.
Which ivory stone is the whitest?
Ibiza White and Ice White are the brightest whites here, with Ibiza slightly warmer and Ice slightly cooler. Bursa White is a soft white with light veining. Corsica Cream, Crema Pearl, Moon Cream and Ivory travertine are all cream rather than white and look noticeably warmer next to a pool.
Do light-colored pavers show dirt and stains more?
Yes, more than gray or brown stone, though they hide water spots and efflorescence better. Seal with a penetrating sealer after installation, rinse sunscreen and leaves off rather than letting them sit, and most marks come out with water and a neutral cleaner.
Do ivory and white pavers stay cool in the sun?
They are the coolest natural stone option because they reflect most of the sunlight. Sandblasted finishes are marginally cooler than leather. On a full-sun deck in a hot climate, a white or cream marble or Ivory travertine is the usual choice for bare feet.
Can I match ivory coping with ivory pavers from a different material?
You can, but check samples together. Ivory travertine coping with a Corsica Cream marble deck is a common pairing, but the textures differ. Matching the same stone and finish for both is simpler; every marble color on this page is available as coping and as pavers.
Which finishes are available in the ivory range?
The marbles come in leather and sandblasted finishes. A single honed tile, a polished mosaic, a splitface ledger panel and a brushed limestone piece round out the collection. Ivory travertine pieces are listed with their finish on the Ivory travertine stone page.
