    Where was that photo from, is it your house, can you get in touch with the person who grouted it originally and ask them, id be suprised if anyone could tell you anything apart from an idea of the colour. Which i think would be dubious at best from a photo which you say makes it look a different colour to what it is.

    Maybe the best thing you could do is go to your nearest CTD and ask them for a grout sample board, which is a selection of cured grouts, you can then pop home and hold the samples up against the tiles and see which colour matches.

    Hope that helps.

    Any colour grout could be different from different manufacturers. I know for a fact that Biscem Sandstone is nothing like Norcross Sandstone and nothing like Bal Sandstone.
    Best bet is to try and narrow it down and then purchase the smallest quantity of the nearest match.
