Grouting colour for wood-effect tile

I have wood-effect tiles I'm putting down, similar to these:

I have to buy grouting tomorrow.. am I correct in assuming the grouting should be a darker colour than the tile to minimise the "tile" look and make it look like more authentic wood flooring?

Recently got wood effect tiles ourselves. Went with chocolate coloured grout. No point in a light colour if you want it to look the part imo

Is the grout darker than the wood-colour?

Little lighter but think it was darkest option avail

Thinking I might go darker if possible (or even black!)

Guys on this forum seem to suggest it matches the wood look a bit better: http://www.houzz.com/discussions/108133/grout-color




Will see what they have tomorrow though, thanks

We went with the darkest grey we could find and IMHO it looks great.
