I would do dark gray....white will get dirty soon...and it is so hard to keep it looking good...although it would be pretty.

We have a similar floor in our entry and we went with black grout. I love the look and it looks as good today as it did when we put it down about 10 years ago.

We used Mapei brand in Alabaster, from Lowe's. It's a grey with no blue undertones. Be careful when picking gray that you don't get undertones you don't want.

My theory of grout is that any place that gets wet will eventually have grout dark. You could decide to have dark grout now -- or a couple years from now. Either way, it will happen.

definitely black. practical yet dramatic.

Thanks everyone!

Valley57 - do you have a pic of your floor with the black grout?
Sounds like gray or black is the way to go. We do plan to seal the grout either way. Our water is city water. The walls in the room are a blue/gray.

black grout in my white-tiled kitchen ~~ black grout in my white-tiled foyer ~~ black grout in white-tiled master bath & also guest bathroom ~~ i LOVE black grout (grin) ~~ phyl

I used octagon and dot tile and grey grout. The only picture I have that shows it well is an unfinished pic so don't mind what a disaster the rest is. I was several months pregnant with no toilet on the floor of my bedroom and this was a "get enough tile down to install the toilet" effort. It's mapei warm gray grout.

This is our entry foyer with the white tile and black squares and grout. We are very pleased with the look and how it has held up--it looks no different then the day it was laid.

Here is a link that might be useful:

kgwLisa - that is the same tile that I am getting. The gray grout looks good!

Valley57 - thanks for the pic! I'm going to the tile store tomorrow to compare grouts and pick one.

Thanks!!

Does anyone have pics of white tile w/ black grout? Thank you.

One thing to keep in mind when selecting your grout colors is the ease of cleaning. Certain colors are more difficult to clean than others. As a general rule of thumb, where ease of cleaning is concerned, try to steer clear of prime colors like red or green - and black too. These colors are well known for being difficult to clean.
One thing to consider when selecting grout for light colored tiles - try to avoid grout colors that are white, or close to white. These light colored shades are also difficult to keep clean for obvious reasons. As an alternative to matching light colored tiles, consider such grout colors as light browns, tans, or shades of gray. In addition to being less difficult to clean, these colors are lass prone to discoloration or yellowing over the lifetime of the tile and grout.

mom2sethc & kgwlisa~I LOVE that tile! Please share details, I want that!!

This will be my 2nd attempt at the small bathroom on the first floor. It's only 5 x 4', and that's rounding up, lol. If we take out the tub, that will give us 2.5' more floor space; I posted that quandary on another thread. Do you think I should make a border, or would that make the room look smaller?

Originally, I used 8 x 8" matte gray squares with white grout, needless to say, it's hideous. Never use white grout!

Thanks everyone for letting me know to never use white grout. Also I love the black grout with the black and white tiles and even the gray grout that has the thinnest grout line with the small adorable tiles. Thanks for sharing.

I may be a little too late for you on this, but we recently used Smoke Grey Laticrete for our white hex tile floor with black accents (also used it with the subway tile on the walls).

Here is a picture:
