Default large tiles and skirting

Hi all

Some advice please. Just had 50sq mtr of 60 x 60 of beige porcelain polished tiles laid in new extension. 6" x 1" square profile varnished natural softwood skirting on top. Looks great but there is a tiny gap between skirting and tile. Do you think I should fill it with clear or beige silicon.
many thanks for all your help.

Has to be a personal choice really. If it was me I would go for the clear. Do really need to fill the joint anyway?

I am with Grumpy´s opinion and would go for the clear with the purpose to prevent dust going under the skirting, better to keep the floor clean, cheers, Martin
