![]() I did want to circle back to the Ardex color deck. Just my two-cents :) how accurate are Ardex’s color samples? Something in between that looks nice with your tiles and other finishes. So in my non-designer, focused-on-durability-and-easy-to-clean opinion, stick with the middle tones for grout. There are issues with going too dark of course - mainly that the grout will show light-colored dirt and water or calcium spots. We’ll have to see how the grout ages, but as of right now, I’d say go with your darker choice. So while I’m super happy with the grout colors we ended up with (!!!), I would have been fine going a shade or two darker. It’s not the color samples aren’t accurate ( they are - see below), but more that all the white and lightness of our tiles makes the grout feel lighter. I will say that even after going multiple shades darker than we originally wanted for all of the grout, I was surprised to see that after the grout set, it wasn’t as dark as I expected it to be. Thus I opted for two colors of grout, the walls a few shades lighter than the floors. ![]() I like both, honestly - one or two colors - but for this bathroom I wanted the floors to be dark enough to hide dirt and wear, but didn’t want a ton of contrast on the walls. I had a couple of questions on why we used two different grout colors, and it’s definitely a personal preference. I liked that they were mid-range colors (not too light, not too dark) and the warm tones felt comfortable and should should play nicely with the wood wainscot we have on the walls in this bathroom. We ultimately picked Ardex ’s Fresh Lily for the walls and Smoke for the floors. ![]()
