So I've bought a bag of Mapei white "flexible wall and floor grout" for my kitchen splashback - like this:
My tiles are "Opal White" from Porcelain Superstore:

From the start I planned on using white grout as I want a clean, sleek look without the "busy" look that a darker contrasting grout can give. But now I'm worried that the white grout will stand out too much from the tiles, which are not actually white but a very pale grey. To be precise they are white, but with a very fine grey speckle printed on them.
I've done most of the tiling already and here is what the main wall looks like:
Would be interested in hearing from anyone who has used the Mapei white grout with a very slightly off-white tile like this.
Other options I'm considering:
Moon White - is it just a very pale grey?
Silver Grey - is it lighter than Mapei Manhattan 2000? I used that in the bathroom with a pure white matt metro tile and it looks great, but I don't want so much contrast in the kitchen. However, a very light grey might work.
Thanks!
