Choosing Mapei Grout Colors for Your Tile: Tips for a Perfect Match
Selecting the right grout color is crucial to achieving the desired look and feel of your space. Mapei, a leading grout manufacturer, offers a wide range of colors to complement any tile. ACR is here to help you choose the perfect Mapei grout color for your tile project. In most cases, your installer will bring your grout to your project, so choose your colors when you buy your tile, and we'll make note of your choices at your pre-site visit.
Start by assessing the color and style of your tiles. The grout color can either contrast with or complement your tiles. For a classic look, choose a grout color that matches or is slightly lighter than your tile color. This creates a cohesive appearance. If you prefer to highlight the tile pattern or create visual interest, opt for a contrasting grout color that stands out.
Before making a final decision, test grout samples in your actual space. Mapei offers grout samples that you can apply to a small area of your tiled surface. This allows you to see how the grout color looks with your tiles under different lighting conditions and helps you visualize the final outcome. Most stores carry paper samples take home and sample sticks to use in the store while you shop.
The finish of your tiles can influence your grout choice. For glossy tiles, a grout color that matches the tile can create a seamless look. With matte or textured tiles, consider a grout color that enhances the texture without drawing attention away from the tile’s design.
Light-colored grout can show stains and dirt more easily, requiring more frequent cleaning. If you’re concerned about maintenance, consider darker grout colors that are more forgiving and require less upkeep. Mapei’s grout options include stain-resistant and easy-to-clean formulations that can simplify maintenance.
Consider the function and style of the room when choosing grout color. For high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms, a grout color that hides dirt and grime can be practical. In contrast, for areas where aesthetics are paramount, such as a decorative backsplash or feature wall, a contrasting grout color can add visual appeal.
If you’re unsure which grout color best suits your project, choose a color pallet you love and discuss your choices with your project manager at your pre-site visits.
By carefully selecting your Mapei grout color, you can enhance the beauty of your tile installation and achieve the desired look for your space. Whether you choose a matching or contrasting grout color, Mapei’s wide range of options ensures you’ll find the perfect shade to complement your tile design.

We used ACR to remodel our master bath, the guest bath, replacement of our tile floors using luxury vinyl planking, and to replace all the baseboards and door casings throughout the entire house. Fred completed the pre-project meeting and went over every item on the proposals. He verified that everything was in order to allow our project to get a start date. Keith, the project manager, was very easy to work with and came by everyday to answer any questions and address any concerns we had. All the work was done in a timely manner and the craftsmanship was top notch. We would recommend ACR to anyone considering a bathroom remodel project or a flooring replacement.

ACR has a good process for getting and checking the material before construction starts to make sure it goes smoothly. Our bathroom renovation went very smoothly with progress each day after construction started and good communication.
