CRL has published a very simple and extremely handy Shower Hardware Finish Cross Reference Guide. Designers and glazing professionals no longer have to conduct any of the painstaking research because we’ve done it for you.

With this thoroughly researched, time-saving guide – available as a printed document or online gallery on our website – anyone can quickly identify the matching color names from a variety of leading manufacturers for fixtures including shower heads, faucets, towel bars, hinges, and more. The current guide provides guidance on more than 20 finishes from 7 popular brands – Brizo®, California Faucets®, Delta®, Kallista®, Kohler®, Moen®, Waterworks® – in addition to our own premium finishes. 

Finishes are conveniently organized into 6 color categories:

  • Cool Metals
  • Neutral Metals
  • Warm White Metals
  • Warm Yellow Metals
  • Pink Toned Metals
  • Living Finishes

To create the most accurate reference guide possible, we collected and analyzed physical samples of finishes from each of the different manufacturers. Here’s an example on how this new guide helps eliminate confusion between the naming conventions of different manufacturers. Customers looking to match CRL’s Brushed Nickel shower door hinges with a like-colored faucet, can quickly discover the following complementary finishes from popular manufacturers:

  • Kohler®: Vibrant Brushed Nickel
  • Moen®: Lifeshine Brushed Nickel
  • Delta®: Brilliance Stainless
  • Brizo®: Satin Nickel
  • Kallista®: Brushed Nickel
  • Waterworks®: Matte Nickel
  • California Faucets®: Satin Nickel

We’ll regularly update this free guide on our website: Shower Hardware Finish Cross Reference Guide. Check back in periodically to make sure you have the most up-to-date guide to bring out the best in your shower installs.
