i am going to do our bathroom walls with a light grey subway tile. what grout can i use to make sure the grout doesnt get super dirty over time? something easy to clean? what grout color would work aside from white? any special way to set subway tiles do i need to specify to our contractor to set as close as possible to minimze the grout? is there a grout brand that is really good and easy to keep clean?

My suggestion would be to take your selections to a tile showroom and select the color that best matches; they will carry lots of brands and you can select grouts that are stain, mold and mildew resistant.

Absolutely - there are pre-sealed grouts that you can select from - and many, many colors of grout that you can choose from as well. Take your samples in and hold up the grout samples to the rest - and best of luck to you!

Yes home depot has some, but consider a tile store for a bigger selection. Also, get a color chart and bring it home. The light in your bathroom can affect how the color appears differently than in the store.

Yes, go to a stand alone tile store for the best assistance and selection. I went to several and doing the whole project my costs were lower than from a big box store. As to grout colors we used a light grey knowing white would likely show soil faster so happy that my small grout line are not harsh white lines
