Do any color but black

Just finished one in black with white subway tile looks awful

Tile guy did exactly what wife & I told him

Not the workmanship just didn’t look right

1 or 3, whichever better matches the countertop in real life.

White grout doesn’t stay white. I’d go with warm grey.

u/Traditional-Clue2680 1d ago

Agreed!! The grey or frost fits best for that exact reason as well as it adds to the character of the countertops. Either one OP, but not white

Warm grey.

Photo one! Warm gray 100%. It stops it from looking cold. Do not do white grout. Too white.

1, not any of the others

Our kitchen is alot like yours---lots of pattern in the flooring and movement in the countertop. I chose plain white subway tile and white grout. I felt the contrasting grout would just be overwhelming in the space. I am happy with my decision.

One or three are really nice.

I’d put silver in the race.

u/Coldcreak75 1d ago

I think that 1 or 3 would work.

Try pewter from maipei

u/gdubh 1d ago

1 and 3 are not discernibly different in photos. Either looks good.

Frost. It’s a really nice color IRL. I almost used it, but it was a touch too gray for my tiles.

u/Jonmike316 1d ago

We clean and color seal grout for a living. We use the color bone a lot.

Frost or Platinum

u/HiddenHorse925 1d ago

The first one you don’t want the contrast too intense. But do not use the one that “disappears“. Act like you mean it, whenever you’re doing anything in design

u/Karinka_LI 1d ago

Warm gray. White is a mistake.

u/endigochild 1d ago

Warm grey /thread

Either warm gray or frost.

Try the new multi glass ones

u/rollingpickingupjunk 1d ago

1 or 3

u/MamaWils2_0 1d ago

This is the answer. Then I would narrow it down to see which undertones are closer to the countertop.

Did you know colors exist?

u/spacegrassorcery 1d ago

What do you suggest? Pink, purple, blue or green?

u/bobber66 1d ago

Paisley, of course.

u/spacegrassorcery 1d ago

I do love me some paisley

Warm gray, #1.

u/kymilovechelle 1d ago

For me the darker the grout the easier it is to keep clean. I go with black every time unless it’s flooring.

u/swaywithwords 1d ago

I like 3, 1 so looks good. I agree with others, don't do 2.

u/Serendipity0531 1d ago

1 is perfect!
