Are new types of grout more dirt resistant?

We are considering putting a lighter color wood look plank in our kitchen remodel. I have light tile floors in current hours, the old 12x12 kind with old style wide grout lines with grout that originally was as light as the floors, now they are a dark brownish, grayish dirty look that stick out like a sore thumb! I can lighten them by scrubbing with baking soda and peroxide or really any cleaner, but even with sealing, they go back to looking dirty and prominent. Well the flooring guys assures me I will not have that problem now, says new types of grout do not show dirt like that, plus the wood look tile is rectified tile, and grout line will be tiny 1/16". So should I believe him? Just don't want to regret the decision, love the tile we are considering but not if will hate the grout in 5-10 years! Any suggestions on type of grout I should ask for?
