    Question Which Colour Grout?

    Just finished tiling my kitchen but need to chose the colour of grout to use. Tile is a 10cmx10cm green/grey colour. Trim is stainless steel finish, worktops are a dark grey granite effect. Walls are Dulux "Egyptian Cotton" neutral colour - Photo attached.

    What do you recommend, white or ivory?

    Cheers guys, sounds like a unanimous vote for white.

    You're right about the trim grumpygrouter - 15 quid a length, and takes some patience to get the 3 way corners right... hopefully worth the cost and effort
