Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 03, 2011 5:34 pm Hi everyone well our tiler needs to know our grout colour by the morning and I am a bit confused. Do I go a lighter colour or try or match the tile colour???
All the bathrooms I like have the lighter colour and I don't know if it has worked out being a good thing or bad. Our tiles are a matt mocha but not really a brown, more greyish brown. We are going to be having polished porcelain (off white) in the hallway with Travertine grout. Which has me wondering maybe I will match it to that. Our wall tiles are gloss snow white, hemp feature tile, laminex parchment cupboards, stipple seal benchtop. Paint is Solver Parchement Double Strength with quarter strength for trims. Any replies appreciated Hope these photos help Travertine Grout Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Darker Colour is Charred Ash Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The colour closest to the vanity is the charred ash, far right of screen is light grey, the two lower colours are too brown so are a no. The middle colour I think may be travertine but I can't remember.

In our charcoal tiles we are having midnight grout. In our white tiles we are having alabaster and in our kitchen splashback ultra white grout. We matched as close as possible to the tile color. Some people like the look of the lighter grout in the tile, we prefer the color to compliment the tile, where possible. Have a look at the Beaumont tile site, and look at the colors of the grouts. It's such a hard call, when it comes to grout, but I do like the travertine. Re: *URGENT*Help me choose grout colour please 6May 03, 2011 10:55 pm Well I have messaged the tiler and Travertine it is. Will post pics tomorrow. Feel a bit nervous, anxious, excited now. I guess the same feeling when you await the result of a colour choice hoping it will turn out ok. Thanks for your help deb17 Re: *URGENT*Help me choose grout colour please 7May 03, 2011 11:36 pm The travertine will look good, it's a good pick. Good luck, look forward to the pictures. It's true, every color choice we make, we doubt at some stage. Your colors look really good, they match perfectly. Thank you @. Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 1023 Render your bathroom walls, two opinions versus the one, makes you wonder. 3 4192 thanks Chippy, i hope they have applied sealer but i am doubt to be honest, so i am gonna do this job after handover. 8 11863 |
