How do I match grout color to tile?
Choosing a Grout ColorMatch a grout color to tile by assessing the types of design options you would like in your room. Use a grout color chart, available from most grout manufacturers, and a sample of your tile to pick a color that best augments your design. In many design applications, grout is either matched closely to the tile color, creating a clean, uniform look that the eye can pass over smoothly, or the grout is a complementary shade to the tile, causing a pleasing pattern and drawing attention to the grout lines and tile design. Note that if your tile layout is a plain alignment, or if the grout lines are uneven, a matching grout color is best able to mask the flaws and allow the floor to seem uninterrupted and cohesive.
