Green subway tile which colour to grout??
we just tiled on ensuite floor which is light beige and our shower wall will be green shiny subway tile and shower floor is light wood look tile
shower head: gold
the delima is grout colour of subway
i was thinking of doing dark grout on green subway and use gold metal trim for niche and shower.. should I then use dark stone for shower curb? my tiler saying it will look odd to have one dark wall and there is nothing else black in the washroom so he suggested I should do dark/black stone on curb
he suggested it will look good if I go with white/light beige grout on subway tile and do white stone on curb and it will look harmonious with my light beige ensuite floor
i am so confused! please help
these are green subway tile and wood look tile for shower floor
This is ensuite floor
this is shower i have skylight above shower
and Two walls will be subway tile..
this is dark grout.. on green subway
This is my inspirational photo
This white grout on subway tile is what tile setter is suggesting
its my first reno and I am so bad at visualizing..

Tile grout color: subway tile with hex floor grout matching
Comments (6)Should the grout be the same color? Not necessarily. Will it look weird to use a darker gray on the floor and a lighter gray in the shower? Not at all. Any recommended colors for the shower and floor tiles along these lines? I've been getting stuff at Lowe's and they carry MAPEI Warm gray for the subway tile, and silver for the hex, if you lke a darker grey for the hex. Silver is actually a medium grey, but it'll appear alot darker with the white tile. Our bathroom isn't perfectly square. I think a colored grout seam that is uneven will be really obvious(that's my understanding where you would do any flubbing). Can you grout just the seam white? Can you skip grout and caulk it? Any suggestions here? Grout everything on the floor the same color. it'll actually show up more if you try doing what you suggested. It'll literally draw attention to it. What you want to dpo is make sure that you're square to the most obvious walls from the door. Especially with the hex, it won't be quite as obvious as you think, unless it's WAY out, and then nothing you can do will hide it, even using a blending color grout. One other thing-- that joint where the floor hits the walls should be caulked, but still caulk it with a caulking that matches the grout, both color AND texture. Does anyone know what the measure is for hex tile and subway? For subway, use unsanded, and for the hex, use sanded....See MoreGrout color question - Onyx Hex & White Subway Tile
Comments (2)Yes, you can use different colored grout for the floor, but as I said in the other thread, the Platinum would work well for the hex, as well. The only other color I'd personally consider would be the Delorean Grey. Which ever one you use, though, you want to use sanded grout on that hex tile....See MoreCalacatta marble subway tile grout color?!
Comments (24)Hi Theresse, so glad to hear your kitchen is coming along. (Did I miss it, what color combo did you end up choosing for your cabinets/wall?) RE: grout color, I think you need to wait until you see your actual marble. We're also doing marble and there is so. much. variation. and all that matters is the actual lot you end up with. (As a major control freak, this is freaking me out!) I have to make these exact same decisions, but it's easy to look at someone else's choices and tell THEM what to do ;) Personally, I'd either choose a white/off white that coordinated best with the overall background color of your lot of tile so that the pretty veins of the natural material can shine and the shape would recede a bit. Or, I'd try to pull a tone from the veins in your lot of marble (a very very light shade of that basic tone, if that makes sense) if you want to also emphasize the shape of the subway tile. I really think any way you choose, you honestly can't go wrong because you have beautifully simple counters so to me there's less of a worry that you'd choose something that didn't "go" as well. Anything you choose, your beautiful marble subways (and your awesome faucet!) are going to pop and be your stars. Can't wait to see. :)...See MorePlease help identify this Grout Color for White Subway Tile Backsplash

5 months agoI have to agree with Patricia, you have too many different surfaces. The floor looks really nice. A light gray grout would look good with it. For the shower floor, it is best to use something small scale such as a 1"-2" square or hexagon tile. I suggest gray (match a gray in your floor tile) or a multi-color gray (different shades of gray) in a mosiac would look good. For the shower walls, I would do white to keep it simple. Or if your floor tile comes in different sizes you can always use that on the shower walls. There are many different shapes you could use there, rectangular is classic. For the shower curb top I always use the same surface as is on the vanity top. It's best to have something there which is a solid piece (except at the corners where you will have a joint).
Since you like green, buy green towels, they will look great with gray and white - that's what I did in my master bath which I remodeled last year. I also painted my walls a very pale green. Tile is very permanent and you don't want to replace it more than maybe every 20 years. You can buy new towels and repaint more frequently than that if you get tired of green.
