White tiles - which colour grout?

[Statia]

Hi guys,
I'm going to be redoing our en-suite soon and I like the classic look of white tiles, probably 25x40cm, for the job. I'm quite drawn to the look of a darker grout to frame these larger tiles, but don't want to end up doing something I regret.

Is it best to stick with white tiles, white grout, or will a darker grout look ok?
Any opinions/recommendations received with thanks.
:smilewinkgrin:

White would be my choice.

I like Silver grey. I think white is old fashion now and so do 95% of my customers, get away from the hospital look

You think white tiles, grout or both contribute to the hospital look?
The look I am going for is simple and classic, which if kept clean and tidy, won't look dated in five years. I'm only going to be tiling the shower cubicle, window ledge and sink splash-back.
I'm open to suggestions
Thanks!

I think Silver grey compliments the white tile, does not look so plain. Just my opinion and will still look good in 10 years.

And I like white tiles, gives the clean and fresh look

I like Silver grey.

This is the only colour I would use other than white. I think anything else looks cheap and tacky, I had a customer insist (against my advice) on blue grout in his white-tiled bathroom, on applying the grout it immediately went from looking really nice to looking cheap and nasty!

I agree , looks pretty good on large white porcelain as well.

Might be a better idea to selecxt a complimentary coloured grout as therte are varying degrees of "white" tiles and grouit on the market

The job could look dirtier if the tiles are whiter than the grout or not quite right if vice versa
