We just did this in our bathrooms (still works in progress -- the grout just went in last week). In the master bath I used a darker brown grout in the accent mosaic tiles at the top of the shower and used a light beige grout for the rest of the bathroom (travertine tiles). Downstairs (not totally grouted yet) I again used the light beige grout for the field tile (again travertine) and will be using a bright white grout in the crystal marble mosaic accent strip. The master bath (which is all grouted) looks fantastic and I am so happy that I went with two colors of grout. I am sure that the downstairs will look just as good when the white grout goes in.

Here is a picture of my bathroom shower with two grout colors.

My husband doesn't think the tile installer can/should use two different colors. Thoughts?

I do this on a constant basis, especially where accent bands are used. It's not difficult-- more of a PITA kind of thing, but it can be done.

Thanks so much!

Bill, since we may be doing this in the next working days in the project, and specific advice on how to do it, make it less of a PITA? Do I tape above and below the area to be grouted (the band setup) to prevent the darker grout from encroaching?

It is the slate mosaic tile band, and ideally the chair and pencil spaces, but those MUCH less important in the look, I think as the grout spaces I left are quite small :-O.

any advice much appreciated, as always...
