i have a floor to tile(its plyed out), the customer wants off white grout(not cream). i have superflex white grout, but can i add some grey to it to darken the white?.....or is there another way??

I wouldnt play that game if it was me.
Id go to different suppliers and pick up some colour charts of different manufacturers. Chances are one of them will do a grout that the customer will go for.

agree, Mapei, do Jasmine and beige for starters, mix your own an you are heading for trouble

like paint a few years ago , you used to be able to buy syringes of colour to mix with white emulsion , i aint seen them for ages ...............

Mapei do:
Manhattan, Silver Grey, Jasmine, Vanilla and Beige. All could be described as 'off white'

and if you want to go to B&Q and use the Buildfix range ( Mapei ) they do 'Oyster Silver' as well , which in effect is another grey with a fancy name

There making more money by mixing it for you

not being nasty here but mapeis white is off white , i would use it for your job

The big problem with this is if you had to do more than one mix its impossible to get the same colour, it was the same with the colour mix packets you could get.

this is true
i used to love mixing my own colours for the client

i would pick out the base colour in wallpaper and mix some universal colourant with some gloss and paint the rads to help lose them against the paper

they were well impressed

its a job to find them now as no one stocks them

no one stocks them cos painters are no longer taught how to mix their own paint

it died when city and guilds apprenticships turned into nvqs
