How much water is used to remove excess grout can also affect the grout color with certain grout formulations. Consider having a few spare tiles glued to a board and grouted to see best how the grout shade develops in situ. Your grout can be either lighter or darker than your tile — or the same color. It depends on your preference. When deciding on your grout color, consider the color , pattern , shape , and layout of your tile and how your grout color will emphasize or detract from these elements.
Whatever color of grout you choose, you will want to clean it regularly — with water alone for general cleaning, and with a grout brush and a neutral pH or slightly alkaline cleaner made specifically for tile and grout for deep cleaning. Pro tip: Darker grout is appreciated for its ability to hide dirt better than lighter-toned grout in between cleanings.
There are a few options for changing the color of your grout: You can hire a professional to remove your existing grout and regrout and seal the area, or you can put in some elbow grease and give your grout a pick-me-up by applying a grout stain. Grout pens are also on the market but the effect is temporary. Never grout over existing grout. Use a self-sealing grout or make sure your grout is sealed after installation to protect your grout.
Sealing your grout has many benefits, including better maintaining its color and preventing stains, in addition to providing a barrier to the growth of mold and mildew. You may choose to reseal your grout depending on the type of grout and how the area is being used and cleaned.
The original subway tile used in New York City subways was white. However, modern adaptations have proven that subway tile looks great in every color. Black subway tile with white grout is a trending spin on the classic subway look, as well as colorful subway tile with white grout.
Gray grout is an ideal choice for nearly any color of subway tile. People talk a lot about coloring inside or outside of the lines, but when it comes to tile, coloring the lines themselves is just as important and fun!

Urethane and epoxy grouts produce more even coloring. This is somewhat a matter of taste, but if you have a variegated tile with several shades, you have several options to choose from for grout color. Choosing lighter colors blends your design together. Darker colors create a more dramatic effect. The shade you pick relies on what you are trying to accomplish in your design. If you want to highlight the pattern your tile creates, a contrasting color is best. If you want to highlight a color or accent in your tile, like the gray veins in a marble tile, go for a close match, or a bit darker than that shade in your tile.
Grout, especially cement-based grout, can darken over time, especially in high-traffic areas. Classic subway tile , like the kind you see in the New York City subway, is white tile with dark grout. One of the most popular choices in home design today is white tile with gray grout. We wanted to show you a few of our favorite grout color options! Browse our recommendations below to get inspired!
