    got light grey porcelain tiles for a large portion of our house downstairs - approx 100 sqm - kitchen, dining, sunroom and hall will all have same tile. shop recommended a light grey grout as i wanted to keep the tiles seamless looking, as in having them layed close and keeping the colour consistent.
    but tiler is recommending i put in a darker grey grout - a normal grey as he calls it as it would be more practical for the area
    is grout really that hard to keep its colour?
    the picture is tiles down so far with no grout

    IMO if you prefer the light grey, you should put it down. I took a chance on a cream grout (fine grain) on my kitchen floor a few years ago and it's still clean. (Your tiler will be sealing the porcelain and whatever grout with it.) Unless you leave puddles of coffee overnight you should be grand.:)
    Nice floor!

    The tilers advice is correct for most households where there is the usual spills.
    Overtime with cleaning the standard grey grout is the most resilient to staining.
