TEC Grout - lighter than Silverado?

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

Can anyone recommend a light gray grout, lighter than Silverado? Or perhaps a creamy color?

Similarly, has anyone used TEC's Praline? Is there a greenish cast to it?

Thanks!

    Only two? I would've grabbed five or six. Let us know what you choose!

    Hopefully one of the two will do the trick!

    Sample boards made - two with the new star and cross tile, with White and Praline grout colors, and a third with my old star and cross, with Silverado.

    (The third board is for finally decoupaging the outlets in the pantry, which have stuck out like a sore thumb for years) - you may be able to pick them out in the below picture, if you try really hard....

    I'll post better pictures once the grout has dried.

    Eam - you'll like this. For the third sample board, I had to hunt down the remaining tile left over from the original job. (Different glazes).

    Aren't these great together? Especially, when you consider the grout can be a third color. Anyway, I might be able to find a use for the remaining tile from both batches.

    OB2B - I vote for the white grout!

    I love them together! What a great mix. As far as the grout goes, you can see them in person, what do you think?

    motherof3sons - DH and I felt the same way yesterday! Now, however, it's become too light (you lose the definition of the tile pattern). The praline has a little yellow in it and I think goes well with the floor and trimwork. If that doesn't further lighten, that will be the one:) Otherwise, on to the next sample(s).

    These are all with a flash:

    Praline:

    No flash, Praline:

    Subtle, texture - what we were going for, Eam!

    If the yellow undertone works Id go with the Praline. I like the gentle definition achieved with the contrast. I love your tile and new pantry. I enjoyed reading the thread on the build, just now.

    Thanks enduring! It's been so very rewarding to have taken the project from design to completion. BTW - on the pantry pocket door, I ended up using the same edge pull you'd used - much easier for DH's fingers than what I originally purchased. (Your pocket door and hardware are beautiful).

    Thanks oldbat, I had an exceptional carpenter do the installation. I was blessed.
