Grout Colour? - Tile Advice

Michael Williams · Apr 25, 2016

Hi

Im at the stage in my project that needs grouting (finally) and I have a dilemma. Which colour grout to use.

Below link is of the tiles i've got and im looking for input as to what colour grout you think is with them? I purchased a Mapei moon white grout but on mixing it looked grey. I purchased a Mapei Ivory but on mixing that looked a little too creamy/yellowey.

Any ideas please? Maybe a white thats not brilliant white?

thanks, the sample has dried and to me still looks grey (supposed to be moon white) Mapei Ultracolor plus 103

What would you say it looks like in the picture? Will white go well with these tiles you think?

130 jasmine mean?
yes 130 or 110 are my options.
you can see better with live tile.
the picture is always just a picture.

110 Manhattan or 111 silver grey would both go well with that tile

I've just used Mapei 103 on a job and it was perfect for the tiles I was using and it is what I would call a dirty white. I wouldn't be using a light grey on those tiles. As Wayne has said 110 or 111 would be fine, you don't want the grout lines to stand out, I would want the grout line to disappear so your eye is not drawn to it and let the natural tile be shown to its full potential

i had a play last night with 5 grout samples. White, Moon White, 2 part white, 1 part moon white, 3 part white, 1 part ivory and I must admit i like the 3 to 1 ratio of white to ivory to give a off white look.
