Interior Designer here. Decorating by committee never works well. I have been watching from the start without comment but…Michael has natural talent and should go with his intuition. He is absolutely on point with the issue of the white and the off white tile issue. Best regards to all! Greetings from Connecticut ⚜️😊⚜️🐩

Absolutely! The dark grey color will look wonderful for contrast. White will provide no contrast and Michael is correct, the white will make the almond colored tiles look dirty which is no one’s goal. Michael, go with what you know will be best and I’m sure Billy will support you!

Another thing to try on the green (chlorophyll) 11:50 is intense UV light to break down the pigment in the chlorophyll. The green stains are chlorophyll, a plant pigment, the UV light will break down the C=C double bonds; the pigment will still be present underneath the glaze but invisible to the naked eye. I'd suggest going easy with the chemicals on the old tiles otherwise you risk damage to the glaze, i.e., you'll end up pitting the surface of the glaze. I'm speaking as an old chemistry major and teacher.

Michael, once you cracked the lid on a sealed hydrogen peroxide container, it has a very short self life. Exposure to air, as well as direct sunlight will lead to it's break down. Having used hp in a 25% solution as a plumber, I found that ordering it just before need directly from a chemical supply house was best. As usual, another stunning "eyeball" color choice that just popped! Michael, I'm starting to think if you wanted something purple with yellow spots it would look fantastic; your color sense is awesome! Loved Yanis' plaster moustaches on the bill of his cap- truly a man very close and dedicated to his work! We will know it is finished when Rick fails to find something worthwhile to do, I'm sure- nothing seems too big nor anything too small for Rick to touch it and make it better!

Quite apart from Michael's opinion about the reasoning behind the columns colour choice - which I also happen to agree with - white paint on them will only ever (readily) show up any greasy marks of whatever, as people interact with them, ruining the overall look, facilitating the need for more frequent cleaning; the chateau cleaning schedule is busy enough in such a large building without inadvertently adding to the workload and you want to be able enjoy living in a chateau, not being a slave to to the damn cleaning of it.

To get my corian sink back white I mixed 9% peroxide and bicarbonate of soda. Brush it in and leave it overnight. Gloves definitely but no fumes.

Contrast - quite nice! And though you didn't mention it - also a safety measure, imagining a kitchen aflutter in preparation for hundreds of guests and etc...and there goes the tray filled with perfectly appointed desserts and the waiter who in haste didn't 'see' the column. Of course, my opinion only. I am having almost as much fun watching y'all recreate these spaces as I suppose y'all are performing the actual restoration.

I believe the reason more people are using black coated metal fencing here in the US, is because the black helps the item "disappear". Painting the columns a dark color will do the same. White brings items into focus but dark colors refocus your eyes to the surroundings and not the columns. Using the historical colors is great.

Designer here too.. White and cream can make a stunning scheme - but not aged, dirty cream.. I would have preferred brazed raw steel (oiled) for the columns, and the colour Michael has chosen is as close to that as you can get, so I absolutely agree with the colour: An alternative could be matte terra-cotta - look at the old floor tiles - the terra cotta colour makes sense in the bigger scheme of things, but I still prefer the gunmetal colour: For what it is worth, when I have done restoration of old white marble to remove smoke stains etc., I use a chloring bleach but layer saturated paper towels over it, and keep wetting them down with chlorine - it keeps the moisture alive long enough for it to be absorbed by the marble - otherwise it doesn't penetrate.. worth a try..
