A small mosaic niche can bring color into a white shower without changing every wall.
Color inside the opening
Most of this shower uses quiet white tile, while the niche introduces a small field of color. Spacing clips and incomplete edges show a stage of installation, not the final cleaned and sealed room.
The mosaic is contained inside the niche, so it can add color without making the whole shower busy. Its smaller pieces and potentially different thickness affect the edge where it meets the larger wall tile. This is a detail to resolve with actual tile samples. A catalog image will not show how the two materials meet in your wall.

Test both tiles at full thickness
A mosaic insert can change tile thickness and grout spacing inside a niche. The installer needs to plan how the insert meets the larger wall tile, while keeping the niche backing, waterproofing, and sloped sill continuous.
If you want one colorful detail, a niche can carry it without changing every wall. Bring both tile samples to the estimate and ask how their thicknesses and edge finishes will meet.
