    Default best grout colour for these tiles!! need opinions!

    ive just tiled my bathroom floor in these tiles, Pietre Di Keope Cream Floor Tile, bearing in mind they look very dark in the pics on the website (they much more cream looking than that) what would be the best colour grout to use with these tiles? ive bought a very light grey grout but should i do it white or are there any other colours which you guys prefer with light floor tiles?? the wall tiles are roughly the same colour as well with a white grout. cheers.

    Fyi … the attached. Mapei emailed me this the other day. Believe it or not the colour code numbers are not in their Little Black Book and are only on their website in electronic tools – which are nice – but a damn nightmare to get at. (I shrank the file to get in on here – but you can see the colour range name and codes)

    Try and keep in mind that although more pleasing to the eye a lighter grout on the floor will pick up traffic marks quicker!
    For that reason Id' say forget white and take the above advice!
    I have in the past fixed a similar tile grouted with a 'silver' finish grout (which sounds hideous, but looked fantastic) I can't remember the manufacturer, but I think it may have been a Biscem? I'll try and check it out for you! good luck!

    if you use a limestone grout and then try wiping on and wiping off lifofin stain stop, just to seal the grout. this will stay fresh looking for a lot longer
