(90,790 posts)Have to deny that single tile its very existence.
That tile screams at me.

(82,333 posts)The trouble with painting over it, you'd always know it was . . . . there.

(9,901 posts)The kicker would be, if there is any age type patina, a replacement tile would never color match.

(10,337 posts)When I started in the sheet metal trade I started at a precision shop. Anything we did by hand was to the nearest 64th". Anything by machine was to the nearest .100thousandth. I never got over that. If we broke up a piece of steel it was 90 degrees, not 89 or 91. After there I went to a shop that produced duct work for high rises like the TransAmerica Pyrimyd. When they saw me taking out my Starette Square to check the ductwork for EXACTLY 90 degrees they about chopped my head off...but...the precision had already been established. Now, at 65, the same standerds are too ingrained to go away.

I missed that comment. That would be even more evil.

Anyways, you don't want perfection, it's bad luck.
Or similar, the Japanese Wabi-sabi
There's also a tile tradition to incorporate an old tile into any remodel with newer tile.
And now that I think about it, wouldn't it be a funny joke to mix up some urine colored clear epoxy and sprinkle it about in front of a toilet?

That could be it.
So it was done either by a Zen Master or a mass-murdering sociopath.
