The other day I was in my friend’s kitchen and noticed that the grout between her tiles was a different color than the grout in my kitchen. I had always assumed that grout was just one color – white. It turns out there are actually quite a few different colors of grout and each one has a different purpose.

Grout is a mixture of water, cement, sand, and sometimes colorant. The proportion of each ingredient varies depending on the type of grout being used. For example, epoxy grouts have a higher concentration of cement and no sand, while polymer-modified grouts have more sand and less cement. The type of grout you use will depend on the size and type of tile being installed, as well as the application (e.g., floor vs. wall).

As for colors, there are actually two types of colored grouts: pre-mixed and dry-set. Premixed grouts come in a limited number of colors (usually 8-10), while dry-set grouts can be mixed to match nearly any color you can imagine. If you’re hiring a professional to install your tile, they will help you choose the best type and color of grout for your specific project. In this blog post, I’m going to break down the different colors of grout and what they mean.
