Non-white grout for white metro tiles - Tile Advice

[Mossop]

Would anyone care to suggest a specific colour/brand of non-white grout for white metro tiles. Perhaps a grey tone?

I'm presuming a non-white grout will be less liable to showing discolouration of the grout with time.

Thanks!

Just don't go for anything darker than mid grey unless you enjoy tormenting yourself.

What do you mean?

Darker will make any and every fault stand out, however small.

I like how you used white silicone on the internals. I had a bit of a nightmare the other week using Ardex Silver Shimmer (light grey) on white metro.

I will definitely use white silicone in future.

It's one of those personal choices really. I have previously used colour matching silicone, but it appeared to close the room in too much. I actually siliconed one small corner (door corner) with the light grey silicone and customer and I both agreed that the white looked better.

Are you tiling yourself or getting a tiler in? If you're getting someone in tell him/her you want charcoal grout and watch their face. It'll tell you all you need to know!
