Pink vs White Salt Bricks and Tiles: Which Finish Fits Your Project?
When you compare pink vs white salt tiles, the size is the same and the difference is color, light and price. At Natural Salt Co., both finishes come as 8 x 4 x 1 inch tiles, and both 50-packs list 145 lb and about 11 sq ft of coverage. Pink glows warm amber and costs less per tile. White reads cooler and lighter, and it costs more: a 50-pack is $289.99 in pink and $324.99 in white (prices checked October 7, 2026). Both colors also come as 8 x 4 x 2 inch salt bricks, and white bricks cost more than pink at every pack size both colors share.
Key takeaways
- Pink and white tiles share the same 8 x 4 x 1 inch size and the same listed pack weight (145 lb per 50-pack).
- Pink tiles run about $4.91 to $5.99 per tile (1000-pack to single tile); white tiles run about $5.94 to $20.00 per tile (300-pack to single tile).
- Both colors are sold in tile packs up to 500, including 400- and 500-packs. Pink also comes in a 1000-pack.
- Pink gives a warm amber glow. White looks cleaner and may pick up more of the color of the light behind it.
- Pink salt bricks are listed in packs from 1 to 1000. White salt bricks are listed in packs of 1, 2, 10, 50 and 100, at a higher price per brick.
Pink vs white salt tiles at a glance
The table below sticks to what the Natural Salt Co. product pages state. Anything not listed there is marked so you can check it before you order.
| Factor | Pink salt tiles | White salt tiles |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 8 x 4 x 1 in | 8 x 4 x 1 in |
| 50-pack weight (listed) | 145 lb | 145 lb |
| 50-pack coverage (listed) | About 11 sq ft | About 11 sq ft |
| Purity stated | 98%+ pure NaCl | Not stated on the product page; ask us |
| Origin stated | Khewra Mine, Pakistan | Pakistan |
| Look | Warm pink to amber | Light, cool, translucent |
| Price per tile (50-pack) | $5.80 | $6.50 |
Since the 50-pack weighs 145 lb, each tile works out to about 2.9 lb in either color. At 4.5 tiles per square foot (an 8 x 4 inch face is 32 sq in, and 144 / 32 = 4.5), that is roughly 13 lb of salt per square foot before adhesive. Some tile descriptions list about 2.5 lb per tile, so check the product page for current specs.
Price comparison: pink vs white tiles
These are Natural Salt Co. sale prices, checked October 7, 2026. Per-tile and per-square-foot figures are our own math from the pack price (per sq ft = per tile x 4.5). Prices change, so confirm on the salt tile collection before you buy.
| Pack size | Pink price | Pink per tile / per sq ft | White price | White per tile / per sq ft |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $5.99 | $5.99 / $26.96 | $20.00 | $20.00 / $90.00 |
| 2 | $11.89 | $5.95 / $26.75 | $25.00 | $12.50 / $56.25 |
| 4 | $23.59 | $5.90 / $26.54 | $38.99 | $9.75 / $43.86 |

| 1000 | $4,909.99 | $4.91 / $22.09 | Not listed | Not listed |
A few things stand out in the numbers:
- At 50 tiles, white costs $35.00 more than pink. At 100 tiles the gap is $78.00, at 300 tiles it is $181.00, and at 500 tiles it is $500.00.
- From 50 tiles up, the per-tile gap ranges from about $0.60 (300-pack) to about $1.27 (150-pack). At 30 tiles and under, the gap is $2.00 or more per tile.
- Bigger packs do not automatically cost less per tile. The pink 100-pack costs slightly more per tile than the pink 70-pack. The white 10-pack costs more per tile than the white 4-pack, the white 150-pack costs more per tile than the white 100-pack, and the white 400- and 500-packs cost more per tile than the white 300-pack.
- For small white orders, the single tile, 2-pack, 4-pack and 10-pack are far above the larger packs per tile, so it can make sense to price a few pack combinations before you check out.
Pink vs white salt bricks
If your project calls for 8 x 4 x 2 inch bricks rather than tiles, both colors are available. Our pink salt bricks come as a single brick ($6.60) and in packs of 2 ($12.99), 4 ($24.99), 10 ($62.99), 20 ($129.99), 30 ($185.00), 50 ($287.00), 70 ($387.00), 100 ($577.00), 150 ($813.00), 200 ($1,059.00), 300 ($1,594.99), 400 ($1,999.99), 500 ($2,499.99) and 1000 ($4,849.00). Some of these packs have their own product pages even when the collection page shows fewer options. Pink bricks are listed at 5.5 lb each, and the 1000-pack is the lowest per brick at about $4.85. Sauna brick packs that include adhesive tubes are also available, from $330 for 50 bricks with adhesive.
White salt bricks are listed in packs of 1, 2, 10, 50 and 100. The white 50-pack page lists 260 lb and about 11.11 sq ft of coverage. Here is how the two colors compare at the pack sizes both share (prices checked October 7, 2026, per-brick price in brackets):
| Pack | Pink brick price (per brick) | White brick price (per brick) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $6.60 ($6.60) | $20.00 ($20.00) |
| 2 | $12.99 ($6.50) | $35.00 ($17.50) |
| 10 | $62.99 ($6.30) | $150.00 ($15.00) |
| 50 | $287.00 ($5.74) | $710.00 ($14.20) |
| 100 | $577.00 ($5.77) | $1,200.00 ($12.00) |
White bricks cost more than pink at every shared pack size, from $13.40 more for a single brick to $623.00 more for a 100-pack. Pink brick pricing is uneven by pack size, so check per-brick prices: the 20-pack costs more per brick than the 4- and 10-packs, and the 100-pack costs more per brick than the 50- and 70-packs.
What makes salt pink or white?
Natural salt varies in color from piece to piece. Pink pieces range from pale pink to orange and deep rose, while white pieces look white or milky. Color differences in rock salt are commonly linked to small amounts of other minerals in the deposit, but we do not publish a mineral breakdown for either color. The pink tile page states 98%+ pure NaCl. The white tile page does not state a purity figure, so if purity matters for your spec sheet, contact us before you order.
Expect some shift in shade and veining within either color, and keep tiles or bricks from one order together if an even look matters to you.
How does each finish look when lit?
Pink salt tends to glow warm amber when lit from behind, even with a neutral white light. That is the classic salt wall look.
White salt is lighter and more translucent, so it tends to show more of the light source. If you use tunable or color-changing LEDs, a white wall may take on the color of your LEDs more clearly than pink would. Results depend on the light, its distance from the salt and the thickness of each piece, so a small test panel can help before you commit. For lighting layout, see our backlit salt wall planning guide.
When pink makes sense
- You want the warm, amber glow of a classic salt wall.
- Budget matters: pink tiles and pink bricks cost less than white at every pack size both colors share.
- You need large quantities: pink tiles go up to a 1000-pack, and pink bricks come in more pack sizes than white.
When white makes sense
- The room has a cool, minimal or modern palette.
- You plan to use color-changing light and want the light color to read through.
- You are ordering 50 tiles or more, where the per-tile gap narrows to about $0.60 to $1.27.
Can you mix pink and white tiles?
Yes. Because both tiles share the same 8 x 4 x 1 inch size and listed pack weight, mixing is mainly a design choice. Stripes, a white panel inside a pink field or a gradient can all work. Sketch the layout first, count tiles per color, then price each color from its own pack table. The salt tile size guide and salt wall planning guide can help with counts. For installation, follow the adhesive maker's instructions, and consider a qualified professional for backlighting and any electrical work.
What else to budget for
Tiles or bricks are one part of the cost. Natural Salt Co. sells pink salt adhesive from $29.99 for a single tube, and the tube page states that one tube covers 30 to 40 salt bricks. Tile coverage per tube is not listed, so treat 30 to 40 pieces as a planning range for tiles and confirm with us. Framing or backer board, LED lighting, an electrician, labor and shipping vary by location and project, so get local quotes for those. Our salt tile sizes article and ideas for using salt tiles at home may help you scope the project.

Are pink and white salt the same purity?
The pink tile page states 98%+ pure NaCl. The white tile page does not state a purity figure, so contact us if you need that detail for a spec sheet. Color differences in rock salt are commonly linked to small amounts of other minerals, but we do not publish a mineral breakdown.
Can I mix pink and white tiles on one wall?
Yes. Both tiles are 8 x 4 x 1 inches with the same listed pack weight, so mixing is mainly a design choice. Count tiles per color and price each color from its own pack sizes, since white costs more per tile.
