You could go with a light grey to complement the veins in your granite or white to lighten the backsplash.

I think either will look good. My preference is white to let the variations in the tile shine without framing each piece with colored grout. Bedrosians has pictures of Cloe grouted with different colors. If you haven’t seen them yet, you can check it out. Their Instagram is full of Cloe installations as well that might be helpful to you. Best of luck!

Bedrosian has an article on its website that shows Cloe white tile with several different grout colors.

There are a few posts about Cloe tile - a couple that are pretty long where many people have posted their finished kitchen with Cloe tile - and they provide cabinet colors/countertop material + grout color. I can’t remember the title of the post, but I have kept a list of some of the users and grout colors used. Maybe if you search some of these users, you will find the thread(s):

EDIT - I think this is the Cloe thread with a lot of finished kitchens - https://www.houzz.com/discussions/5871164/your-experience-with-cloe-tile-in-white-what-color-is-it

@kim33gary - bright white grout

@Vera Siefert - Mapei white

@kandra - Laricrete bright white

@amsousa - bright white

@jksjkc - Mapei avalanche

I can’t get these names to pull up when using ”@“ -

Ash Y - white grout

Lindsey Burnett - Mapei avalanche

D H - warm gray - wasn’t happy with how grout turned out (although I thought it looked nice). Found post by D H re grout -https://www.houzz.com/discussions/6095232/request-advice-darker-grout-color-for-bedrosian-cloe-white-tile

Rebekah Gibbs - white grout

I have more - but they are in a different notebook. I decided to tag the users - I’m hoping that one of them will be able to point you to the post(s) where all the Cloe finished kitchens have been posted.

Also - Bedrosian sells matching trim pieces for Cloe - that’s what I’m going to use if my tile setter is unable to match the glaze on the end of the tile (several of my tiles have at least one end with quite a bit of glazing already on it + I only have one very small area that needs some type of edging). I’m not sure if any of the kitchens that have been posted used Schluter trim - they might have. I’m not planning on using Schluter so I didn’t pay attention to what type/color was used.

Hope this helps!

edit - I just remembered that Stephanie (trying to remember last name) used Cloe white tile in her shower with Daltile jolly trim (bright white) and used mapei avalanche grout. If I can remember her last name, I’ll add it.

Thank you! My tiles do have a little glaze on the side but doesnt cover the whole side. I too dont have a big space that needs edging.

I looked at bedrosian article you attached I think I like the white grout more. its a cleaner look now to decide which brand and which white.

Becky - look at the photos of the kitchen in the thread i linked above. Kim33gary was very helpful/responsive when i asked her questions (plus, requested extra photos of her kitchen) - and she used a white grout. I’m sure that she’d share details with you. Actually, all of the people I’ve listed above were more than happy to share the particulars re: their kitchen renovation. I’m sure that if you ask them specifically for info (by either using the ”@” + user ame in the other thread, or by sending a pm, they will be happy to help!

That looks terrific!!

Becky - looks beautiful! I’d love to see more photos of your kitchen!

@Becky H, I just had this backsplash installed with my Laza countertop. Curious what size spacers you used? Mine are kind of all over the place, even though spacers were used.

Your kitchen is lovely! I dont think my tile guy used spacers. I told him i wanted thin grout lines.

@Becky H You said you used a white schluter. Was it the white or bright white or matte white?

@CT I’m sorry i dont remember. I bought it at home depot I think they only had 1 white option. I was just glad I found it in stock!
