Default Do I need to buy white adhesive?

I am tiling a bathroom with 400 x 300 ceramic tiles, I am thinking of using Dunlop Set Fast Plus, is there any advantage using the white variety?
I notice what appears to be the same product is significantly cheaper in grey
Would I be advised to add Dunlop Flexible Additive, the substrates are ****board and plasterboard

Never used Dunlop gear, but is this a floor you are doing ?

If you are using a lite coloured grout then yeah a white adhesive, but if it's a dark colour then I'd go with the cheaper grey.

If it's wall tiling then you don't need flexi additive for ceramics.
