🔰 One of the most beautiful tiles that has long been welcomed in Iranian architecture is the seven-color tile. The reason for naming this tile is the seven colors used in its construction. The common colors used in this tile are: black, white, azure, turquoise, yellow, fawn and red. The combination of these colors together is very beautiful. For this reason, these tiles are mostly used in tombs, mosques and even in private homes.
