Choosing between the Avocado Green Ceramic Tile Bullnose Trim and the Vintage Blue Ceramic Tile 4.25 in Subway Square comes down to edge style and the look you want on your wall. Both are new ceramic tiles with a glossy finish, but they head in different design directions. The green option is a bullnose trim with a rounded edge, made for finishing corners. The blue option is a straight-edge subway square that covers more area per case.
Quick Verdict
If you need a rounded, finished edge for corners and want that avocado-green mid-century accent, the American Olean bullnose trim is your pick. If you want a classic blue subway square with a straight edge and twice the coverage per case, the Daltile vintage blue tile covers more ground for a lower listed price.

Where Each Product Wins
The Avocado Green bullnose is the trim choice when you need a rounded edge to finish a subway layout, and it brings a stronger mid-century green accent. The Vintage Blue subway tile wins on coverage, since a case gives you 1 ft² compared to 0.5 sq ft, and it includes a DCOF rating between 0.42 and 0.44.
Avocado Green Ceramic Tile Bullnose Trim Subway Backsplash Mid Century Modern
With its rounded edge and glossy green finish, this American Olean bullnose trim is the one to consider when your layout needs a clean finished edge. The pack holds five pieces, adding up to 0.5 sq ft of coverage per case, and the tile is made in Mexico. The avocado-green colorway and rounded edge give it a mid-century modern accent that works well as a finishing trim. Just know that the coverage is small for the listed price, so you'll need several cases to cover a large backsplash. That makes it more of a finishing accent than a full wall product.
Vintage Blue Ceramic Tile 4.25 in Subway Square Shower Kitchen Wall Backsplash
This Daltile subway tile takes the classic 4.25-inch square shape and puts it in a vintage electric blue. Each purchase is a 10-piece pack that comes to about 1 sq ft of coverage, so per case you get more surface than the green bullnose option. The straight edge keeps the layout clean and consistent, and the glossy finish works well for a kitchen backsplash or bathroom wall. It carries a DCOF rating of 0.42 to 0.44, which is useful to know. The limitation is that it doesn't have the rounded bullnose edge, so you may need a separate trim piece to finish exposed corners. Also, you're paying for a specific colorway rather than a neutral.
Final Choice by Use Case
If your project centers on a mid-century green accent with a rounded finish, go with the Avocado Green bullnose trim for corners and edges. If you want a blue square tile that covers more area per case and includes a DCOF rating, choose the Vintage Blue subway tile. For most general walls, the blue tile gives you more square footage for the listed price; for a finishing trim, the green is the one.
