Need help on choosing grout color for the tile?

3 years ago

The first tile is going to be used on a small shower that is glazed and bathroom floor that is matte.

The silver is using in the main bathroom. I want a grout color that blends in with the color of the tile. Making the tile appear as a whole. I am going to have very small gaps between the tile.

Figuring out colors on computer screens is tough. Your tile shop should have sample grouts that you can set up for comparison, or your best bet is to hire a designer to help you. Here's a story on Houzz on how to select grout: https://www.houzz.com/magazine/what-grout-color-should-you-choose-for-your-tile-stsetivw-vs~89929909

Very similar tile in my master bath. We chose white to match the tile and it’s been 2 years so yes the grout darkens a bit over time like all grout does but isn’t bad. Choose something close to the white.

My DD used Daltile's Florentine Carrara for her tub surround and on her floor. She used the matte finish for both. She does not have a separate shower. That tile does come in a 2x4 mosaic. If you used that in the matte finish on the shower floor, it shouldn't be slippery. I do also think it would be fine to use the same tile on both the shower floor and bathroom floor. My DD used white grout and it actually looks a little to yellow next to the tiles. She wishes she had done a grey. Take a look at Custom Building Products Platinum or Rolling Fog colors. It looks to me like either of those might work.

Nice choices! I love the pop of color you have in the accent tile. If you choose white or light grout color then the marble pieces will look more uniform since the tile will be close in color to the grout. The opposite holds true with the larger gray tiles - these tiles will "pop" because the lighter grout will have a contrasting effect. I think you're fine going either way. It's more of - which tiles do you want to "pop" more... What tiles are going on the floor (if any)? If you have to choose a grout color for the floor then I'm always a fan of darker grout to help hide dirt/stains down the road because the grout will get darker with time if it's on a floor that gets used.

It is impossible to do this on line and you need actual samples to be sure what dried grout will look like. This is mock up of Mapei Alabaster. I would look at backs and sides of this tile and get close to that color.

Thanks barncatz, this is the first and probably last kitchen I’ll ever do myself. While rewarding once done, building my own cabinets prolly took a few years off my life from the stresses of doing it! The tiles are cheap enough, maybe I will make a couple grout boards. My original thought was just finding a premixed grout that was close to the tile color.

Epoxy grout will avoid the darkening problem. Make sure your installer is familiar with it.

Most shops have grout sample stick to set on tile and select the best color; do that and choose the color you notice least. BTW, those tiles aren't rectified, so your grout line isn't going to be as small as you indicate.
