Choosing the right grout color can make all the difference so it s worth thinking about when planning the overall look of your bathroom using a light colored grout particularly in conjunction with white tiles.

What color grout to use with gray tile.
Contrast of tile and grout.
With gray tiles we always recommend matching the grout with tiles.
Since i did an inset cubby with the same penny hex the grey seemed like the best option.
I do love the slight contrast but would have been happy with white white too.
Dark grout in a similar tone to a dark tile will create a softer look while a light grout will bring out the tile pattern adding even more drama.
If you do decide to go with a dark grout and a light tile color or vice versa.
Use sanded grout when measuring over 1 8 inch.
If you like black tile but want to soften the look choose a charcoal shade for the tile and match it closely rather than choosing a pure black and trying to soften it with white.
Sanded grout is stronger so it reduces.

When choosing tiles for the bathroom shape color and texture decisions factor in immediately but one aspect that can strongly impact the final look is often a mere afterthought.
