High-Traffic Areas: For spaces like kitchen floors, entryways, or hallways, dark grout is a practical choice because it hides stains and dirt better than lighter shades.
For balancing aesthetics and upkeep, you can't go wrong with a neutral grey or beige grout. These lightly pigmented grouts will enhance the pattern of both light and dark colored tiles, have less risk of staining your tile compared to a dark grout and will conceal dirt and stains better than a white grout.
Epoxy absorbs about 50-times less water than traditional cement grouts, has double the strength, and chemical resistance that stands up to even the toughest environments. You do have to clean epoxy grouts, but when you do they return to their original color rather than looking darker or keeping a grey-ish, dirty look.
Brown tiles
Like black tiles, brown will hide hair, water spots and dirt to make your floor look cleaner. When it comes to brown tiles for your kitchen, look no further than our wood effect tiles. Unlike natural wood, they will not absorb moisture and stains and are better at withstanding daily wear and tear.
A lighter grout will brighten (or lighten) the general appearance of the tiled area. A darker grout will subdue (or darken) the general appearance of the tiled area. A grout color similar to the color of the tile will make the tiled area appear more seamless, and draw less attention to the joints.
White and black are two of the most common tile grout colors. Shades of gray, brown, beige and mossy green are also popular choices. There are even more colors available, depending on what you need.
Tile with dark grout is becoming increasingly popular in many design styles, from modern farmhouse bathroom walls to minimalistic kitchen backsplashes.
Colors like silver, gray, and charcoal are particularly effective at concealing dirt and minor imperfections. These colors do not show dirt as readily as lighter colors and can also mask small scratches better than high-contrast colors like black or white.

The reason is that bold or solid shades fail to hide stains and dust. The best option is to go with floor tiles with some kind of design on them and are multi-colored, especially if you want to spend less time cleaning them. Some great colors include beige, ash grey, and you can even opt for slightly darker shades.
Another major benefit of tan and beige grout is that it doesn't show imperfections, dirt, or grime the way pure white does. These colors have low grout maintenance. Use them in kitchens and bathrooms.
Unlike other grout options, epoxy grout does not need to be sealed. Many professionals now opt for epoxy grout over other options because of its unmatched strength and low maintenance.
If you're using two different tile colours in a room, consider choosing the same colours for your grout – but in reverse. In short, if you're using pastel green and white tiles, add white grout lines to your green tiles, and vice versa.
Epoxy Grout
Epoxy grouts are the most durable of all grout choices because they are resistant to stains and water damage, and will hold up against harsh cleaners (please don't use harsh acidic cleaners on our tile!).
The easiest car colors to keep clean are white, gray, silver and blue. They're easier to keep clean because they don't show dirt as easily as other car colors.
As it dries it becomes a very attractive sticky texture. And of course, because it's sticky, it is going to reel in every new piece of dirt and soil brought in.
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.
It doesn't show dirt.
This would normally be a pro, but it can definitely be a con with choosing black grout. You might not see the dirt, but it's still there. And if playing hide-and-seek with dirt results in slacking off with your cleaning duties, that won't bode well for the look or longevity of the black grout.
If you don't want to go through all this to keep your grout clean, you can install epoxy grout. Unlike sand grout, epoxy grout is not porous, and dirt cannot be ground into it.
Neutral grout colours are lower maintenance
Dark and light grout tend to show more dirt and stains over time, while a neutral grout such as beige or grey won't show dirt as readily.
When picking a paint color, darker shades are going to do a better job of concealing dirt and stains. While brown and gray are some of the more popular color choices for this purpose, and they certainly perform very well, they aren't your only color options.
Silver and Gray
Silver and gray cars are often praised for their ability to hide dirt effectively. These neutral colors can camouflage light dirt and dust, making them popular choices for drivers who want a clean appearance without constant upkeep.
Tiles in lighter tones are harder to clean, so you'll want to lean toward beiges, grays, or even slightly darker shades. Matte finishes also do a good job of keeping dirt out of sight, and this finish will also make your tile much less slippery when wet.
The easiest way to change grout color is to stain it.
Once you've cleaned your grout and chosen the right stain, you simply paint the dry grout with the stain and paintbrush, allow it to dry, and clean off the excess.
Black grout acts as a bold outline, highlighting each tile's shape and enhancing any layout pattern you choose. Whether you use classic subway tiles, hexagons, or intricate mosaics, black grout defines the layout, making each tile stand out individually.
