Encore crackle field tiles- Grout line size/grout color

We are getting ready to have our Encore crackle 3 x 8 field tiles in smoke installed as our backsplash. For those of you with Encore crackle field tiles do you know what size grout line was used?

My KD asked me what grout line I wanted and I responded asking what was feasible and wanted to make sure it was someone who had previously installed similar tiles. We have had recent workmanship quality issues which you may have seen threads on, and I don't want the backsplash to become one of those problems.

I talked to the showroom from where I purchased the tiles, and they said the tile installer should be able to tell me what was reasonable but the installer should shoot for 1/8" but it would likely be between 1/8" to 1/4" in size. Is this what others have experienced? I know they are handmade tiles and won't be easy to install.

Also, what color did you pick for your grout? Did you try to match the light relief on the edge of the tiles? That is what I am leaning towards doing.

Here is a picture of the tiles.
