What Color Grout to Use With White Subway Tiles | TileBar.com
1 month ago - Surrounding Area: The lighting, materials, and overall design of a space will also impact how the grout color “reads.” Be sure to pick a grout color that harmonizes with cabinets, countertops, hardware, flooring, or any other major design elements (for example, if the overall vibe of a room is dark and moody, a bright white grout might feel jarring). White Grout: The best part of using white tile or white subway tile is that if you want to keep the look classic, you simply use a matching grout.

Choosing Grout for Subway Tile | Daltile
Grout for subway tile might seem like a simple choice, but there is more to consider than you might imagine. Until the 1980s, there were only two choices when it came to grout: white or grey. Now there are endless colors—even metallic and glitter are available.

White vs gray grout lines on subway tile
Dark grout really exposes any imperfections in subway tile installs, so if you think your tiles might deviate even a little bit, you should go with white, or light grey, I installed my backsplash myself and went with white because I know my own limit. More on reddit.com

What color grout do I do? I’m about halfway done with the tile job and can’t tell if I like the lines or should just do white grout.
Do a warm or cool tone light grey. It's my understanding that white grout tends to yellow over time. You've just done a beautiful kitchen renovation and you probably don't want grout to be the focal point! More on reddit.com

Installing a matte white subway tile. What color grout and schluter would work? My kitchen appliances will be a black stainless steel. Really like your opinions. Thanks in advance
I would do white edging with a light gray grout. Matte black edging looks good to if you like a contrast line. More on reddit.com

White Subway Tile with Gray Grout: My Favorite Grays - Driven by Decor
November 7, 2023 - This pic shows how the white subway tile and gray grout look in both shadowed spaces (underneath the upper cabinet and to the left of it) and in a more sunny spot close to the countertop: I used the same grout for the Walker Zanger Villa D Oro mosaic behind my kitchen range: It’s also the same grout color that we used with the marble tile in the shower of our bathroom remodel.

r/HomeImprovement on Reddit: White vs gray grout lines on subway tile
February 14, 2019 -

Searched this sub and for pics online. We have butcher block counter tops, some floating shelves with black brackets, and beautiful dark blue cabinets. I have all my white subway tile up with 3/16" spacers and am debating on grout color. Our walls have a fair amount of imperfections and angles which is why I went with the larger grout line. I'm so used to using gray grout to make the tile pop, but wondering if white will make the cabinets stand out more (in a good way). Also wondering which will look better long term / will the white fade quickly?

Thanks everyone - have loved using this sub for all my renovations on our 1800s home so far. It has been an incredible resource.

February 16, 2023 - If it’s junk subway tile and you have joints of varying sizes to compensate, black grout will highlight the shitty tile. If you have good tile and consistent joints then fly with black for a nice finish. Don’t overwash and make sure you mix up the grout exactly as you should or use a premix like prism or flex ... Light grey could work too. ... Go with Ash. Mapei. I just did white shower with black fixtures. Ash is a nice subtle color that compliments both tile and the fixtures.

November 21, 2024 - While I preferred white grout it never stays white and is a bitch to keep clean. I would use bisque or gray ... I’d go black if your door/drawer hardware is black. It will pop more (and I’m admittedly partial to the traditional subway tile look).
