No one can match finishes exactly, but an experienced professional with a good eye can get very close.

Tiles in Northern Ireland - info on tiles and marble, adhesi...
Interior floors certainly do not require characteristics such as frost resistance that instead are essential for exterior surfaces. So specifying frost resistance for interior tiles (unless inside a cold storage room) would itself be unjustified. Having said this, it is important not to draw hasty and incorrect conclusions. The first such hasty conclusion could be expressed as follows: "Frost resistant tiles must be used solely for exterior applications".

Will sunless tanners stain my clothes?

The arrival of Coppertone Endless Summer and Bain de Soleil Radiance Eternelle have changed the situation, however.
