Before our recent remodel my house interior was Dover White, flat finish on walls and Dover White wood trim in semigloss. My downstairs floor plan is mostly open and I was happy with the combination. Dover White is a shade that will change throughout the day's light and it played well with all the colors in my furnishings. And it never looked too harsh, to me, during cold winter months, as some whites can. We replaced our natural maple stained cabinets with white (a creamy white cabinet manufacturer calls Buttercream) and we have light stone counters. I wanted a subtle color on my walls as contrast to all the white. We Chose BM Carrington Beige and I just love how it makes all my white trim and our mantel pop. It is a chameleon shade that reads greenish, at times. Other times it's warm with a subtle golden glow. The name "beige" IMO, is not very representative of this color. You may want to check it out in your search.

I would suggest using Bostik Vivid Hydroment. You can go onto their website and read up about it. It is a stain resistant high performance grout. We use it for all our bathroom jobs... Good luck!

I would have used a darker grout, specially in a garage entry. I always try to choose a grout that matches one of the mid tones in a tile. Also, grout always ends up lighter than those little plastic sample sticks, so when I find the sample stick I like, I then pick one shade darker to end up with the look I wanted.
