Grout - darker or lighter

We are going to install a new backsplash in the kitchen. It is one of those glass mosaic ones.

Should I go darker or lighter on the grout?

This is the backsplash we are getting.

Something in the middle in case of splatter. I would not do white, I would do a beige.

Re: Grout - darker or lighter

Thanks everyone! I'm thinking now a medium to light beige. More on the medium side because I hate cleaning grout.Chat Icon

Darker only because it will get dirty fast. I think a medium tone would work well

Dark will make it very dark and will really dull the glass look. Go light

we have a similar backsplash... the tile store was able to help us with the grout. Light grout will draw your eye to the grout lines, instead of the tiles. A contrasting grout (not necessarily dark grout) will blend in and focus the eye on the tile instead. Our backsplash is more dark brown that yours and they recommended a grey color
