Grout color for Subway Tile in Black-White Kitchen
Comments (2)I would go with gray grout - white is difficult to maintain. I have white grout now and would never use it again. If you are iffy on the gray, just go with a lighter gray color...just dark enough so it doesn't look dingy. Good luck!...See MoreNeed help after grouting tile...Grout color covered white tile...
Comments (27)Yvette Im sorry your upset, It does look lighter in todays photos to me. You have very poor photo quality and in truth you are comparing a Showroom floor with white marble or glass contrast relfecting and a complete different lighting schematic to your tub alcove. There is some solice in lighting. This is repeated on these forums time and again. Stone itself comes in dye lots and VERIES drastically. Stone wicks moisture, from thinset substrate and grout as it cures it gets darker before it lightens. Some thinsets can take 30 days to fully cure, some portland grouts do normalize over 7-10+ days. and there is a dozen things that can go wrong with hand mixed and installed grout. I cannot see close enough the details of your install but I can tell you I have had to watch sales people at tile shops like a hawk in that they are usually not a person to take advise from. Can you be 100% certain they sold you the proper color/brand or did they sell you something similar to sell you something. ? You should have more recourse if you Payed a tile professional to source and purchase the materials themselves grout included and if you have a contract and stayed hands off. One thing homeonwers dont consider when they get involved with these things is the importance of putting all the liability in the contractors hands to afford recourse. People that do the shopping finding deals choosing materials, and then hiring labor have little to no recourse so i hope thats not you.. I suggest further patience and see how it lightens, play with lighting and start to focus on other aspects of your room.....See MoreHelp! What color grout for black and white tile to look seamless?
Comments (16)It looks to me like the tiles are aligned properly but the tiles themselves do not have a perfect repeating print. Since you've already said you aren't a huge fan and tile is so hard to rip up, I would use this as an excuse to return the tile. I would use black grout though. White grout will get yellow/brown with age and stand out. Black fades into the background and your eye skips over it....See MoreWhat color grout for floor to ceiling white tile?
Comments (6)IMO, if you use highly contrasting grout then the grout color and the grout pattern become the focus, not the tile. Since you have an interesting tile with lots of texture, I would use a grout that blends or very slightly contrasts with the tile. Let the tile and texture be the focus....See MoreRelated Professionals
