    Default Brown floor tiles, grout colour suggestions

    Hi guys,

    I'm looking for some advice on what grout colour would work best with the below floor tiles, they are a matt brown rustic effect:



    Can anyone point me to some pics of installations using a similar colour tile? Would ivory work, would lighter colour start looking dirty very quickly? Should I stick to the standard grey?

    Thank you

    Grey is usually the colour for floors because as you say, they can get dirty quickly. Mapei do various colurs in their Ultracolor Plus range from very pale grey through to brown beige or lots of other colours. I have used their Chocolate colour and it is pleasing in the right situation. See if you can get a sample chart from your supplier and hold it up against the tile to get an idea.

    When I laid my kitchen floor before Christmas, I used BAL's Pebble grout against natural/light beige tiles but sealed the grout to stop mucky dog paws discolouring the grout. But to be honest, after 6 months wear and tear, I can see quite clearly which areas of the kitchen are most used and which are not.

    I took a tile to Topps and spent over 30 minutes looking at their grout samples - well I'm a woman, what else do I need to say

    By any chance do you have access to Mapei's online colour chart? I can find one on their US site but I can't see Jasmine listed as a colour.

    Cheers
