Pretty much anything that is not tubbed, in that case. Personally would use single part flexy as that is what I always carry but that is just me.

Try using a grout as near to the tiles colour as possible this way the joints won't stand out as much and it will look more realistic.....

Or if its wood effect, use nails like Tyfoot - Lol

I have done two jobs in the last week with dark brown tiles with woodgrain on them. One was a large floor 30m2 with 600x600 tiles. The client had ivory grout.

The other job was a bathroom floor and around a shower with similar but smaller tiles, beige grout was used on both.

Initial thoughts where the grout was going to be too light in colour but it looked a treat when finished and really highlighted the grain in the tiles.

For floors i still would go with grey or dark brown if it was my own simply to reduce effects of dirt and grime over time.
