From that Wayfair site, here are some blue hex. I suppose you could run a line two or three hex deep of the blue. Or cut across the hex tops in a straight line and do subway tile.

On the floors you could buy some colored hex tiles (to match the subway accent on the wall) and arrange them on the white hex in a daisy or snowflake pattern. This would be kind of a pain getting the spacing right. It would be easier to order the hex with a daisy or snowflake pattern in the first place. To my knowledge for all the off the shelf tiles the pattern is in black hex. You could remove the black tiles and replace with the colored hex you buy separately. That way the spacing would be accurate with a minimum of fuss.
I didn't look hard, but the first site I found had colored hex sheets. The same page shows the black on white daisy and snowflake patterns.

It would just be in the shower walls, not the bathroom wall. I got it really cheap, so I'd like to make good use of it. The problem is that I can't find any hexagonal tiles in other colors, unless I buy sheets with the black flowers and take take the few black ones out. Would it be weird to be hexagons with a subway tile stripe?

Subject: How to accent hexagonal tile?
I am renovating a very small bathroom using white hexagonal tile for the floor and shower walls. http://www.overstock.com/#/Home-Garden/SomerTile-10.25x11.75-in-Victorian-Hex-1-in-White-Porcelain-Mosaic-Tile-Pack-of-10/5550235/product.html
I want to accent it with something but I dont know what. Walls are currently a blue but I am open to painting. Only other part of the bathroom is a white pedestal sink, toilet, and white wicker mirror and cabinet.
I'd like to add a tiny bit of color in the shower walls or floor. I'd love blue hexagonal tile nut I any find it. Would it look weird yo have tile on a different shape? Like a row of blue subway tiles?
