Selecting Grout Colors

Tips for picking Grout Colors:

1. Pick one color that works with all the tile in that room: don’t pick two colors for one bathroom
2. Don’t pick any bright whites: they don’t stay looking that way for very long
3. I tend toward picking warm light greys, not too dark
4. For the main entry floor I’d pick a darker, warm grey that matches the tile, but slightly darker
5. For the kitchen backsplash tile I’d pick a darker grout to hide grease, splatters, etc.

Red Powder Room glass tile:

• Custom Building Products #105 Earth
• Laticrete #30 Sand Beige (alternate color)

Some of my usual colors (from Custom Building Products):

• Bone #382
• Alabaster #333 (it’s a bit lighter than Bone but still a little warm)

the following are cooler light greys:

• Snow White #11
• Platinum #115

Darker cool grey

• Delorean Gray #165

Laticrete ‘Mushroom’ #39 – it’s a light tan that works with beige / tan tiles
