Choosing the Right Grout Color for Natural Stone

The Frame of the Picture

Grout can make or break a floor. A bad color choice can make expensive Statuario Marble look cheap.

Color Rules

• White Grout: Looks clean initially but turns grey/dirty in weeks on a floor. Avoid for high traffic.
• Grey/Beige Grout: The safest choice. A 'Silver Grey' or 'Manhattan Grey' hides dirt and blends well with most stones.
• Contrast: Using dark grout on white tile makes the pattern pop (subway style).

Pro Tip: Use Epoxy Grout. It is plastic-based, never stains, and never needs sealing. It costs more but lasts forever.
