    Mapei Jasmine is a popular shade of grout at the moment

    Speak to your local Tile Giant store and see what different Mapei powdered grouts they have in, and ask them to recommend one suitable for your current job.

    Bear in mind light grouts will look worn quicker.

    as Del says, lighter grouts will look worn quicker. basically, dirty. at least it's an en-suite and not a high traffic area like a kitchen floor.

    if you're going for a light grout, look into getting a sealant product that will protect the grout from dirt, shampoo, cleaning products etc.

    Second that.... I have fitted Crema Marfil previously and Jasmine was by far the best colour......... actually it is for nearly all real stone looking tiles

    These pics are of Porcelanosa ceramic marfil tiles. I grouted these with Butech Marfil (which I'm pretty sure is the same as BAL Ivory). This, too, was an en-suite. Hope these help.

    I'd vote Limestone. Great colour match & much more of a durable colour....
