Black Slate Grout Color

oreiad

Hello,

I need a little help with grout colors for our black slate for our mudroom with white cabinets. We are debating between custom's platinum color or delorian gray. Has anyone used these with slate? Will the platinum be too light? We would like a little contrast between the slate and the grout similar to this photo.

We also are using a urban concrete night porcelain tile in our laundry room with white cabinets. Any suggestions for grout color to show contrast between tile and grout. Thinking about using platinum here to but worried it might be too light. Would love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

    Thanks for this post. This is just what I am using on my screen porch and it shows a good example of what it looks like.

    Oreiaf- Did you decide on platinum or Delorean gray? I️ we are deciding between those two also. Montauk black slate Floor in a herringbone pattern with a contrasting grout. Leaning towards the platinum for grout but considering white. photo of our bathroom floor before grout.

    Old post I know, but what grout did either of you choose? Am in the same dilemma and would love to see after photos if you have them. Thanks!

    I added the wrong picture - the platinum is what I used on the floors thus picture is the delorean gray I used on the shower walls.

    #likewhatyoudo I found this post after searching for pics of grout colors to use with our black slate tiles. We are debating delorian grey and pewter but I’m thinking pewter is too blue. This is so helpful! We also have a white shiplap wall and need to paint our vanities. Would you mind telling me what color/sheen you painted the shiplap and color/sheen of your vanity ? Are they the same? Your trim looks a tad brighter than the shiplap but could be lighting. It’s all so great!

    The platinum grout looks white in person we still love it and it was easy to seal the slate and grout all together. For our other bathroom we did a black porcelain tile and used the darker grout delorean and it made a nice contrast.

    Wall Paint is sw agreeable gray, Shiplap-sw alabaster satin sheen,
    Trim and vanity cabinet- sw pure white in semigloss .
    Hope this helps!!
