Expert Grout Color Tips

Matching vs. Contrasting

Matching your grout to your tile creates a seamless, uniform look. Contrasting grout highlights the tile pattern and adds visual interest. For most PNW homes, we recommend matching for floors and slightly contrasting for backsplashes.

Light vs. Dark Grout Maintenance

Light grout shows stains more easily but brightens a space. Dark grout hides stains better but can fade over time. In our rainy PNW climate, darker grout in wet areas like showers may require less maintenance.

PNW Climate Considerations

Pacific Northwest humidity can affect grout color over time. Lighter grouts may show mildew sooner in damp areas. We recommend sealed, darker grout for shower floors and lighter options for well-ventilated spaces.
