What color grout is best for glass pool tile?

If you are planning to grout glass mosaic tiles in your pool or spa, selecting the right grout color is essential for achieving a visually appealing finish. Contrary to popular belief, matching the grout color with the tile color—like using blue grout with blue tiles or green grout with green tiles—may diminish the overall look. Instead, opting for neutral grout colors will ensure that the glass mosaic tiles remain the focal point of your design.

For glass mosaic tiles that are predominantly white or contain white elements, white grout (such as Mapei Keracolor FF or Ultracolor Plus 100 White) is highly recommended. A perfect example of this would be the 'Santorini' blend, which integrates white tones effectively, creating a harmonious appearance when paired with white grout.

When considering tiles that feature blue or green shades with white patterns, such as Aqua Mosaic's 'Langkawi' or 'Maldives,' it is also advisable to use white grout. This choice not only enhances the vibrant colors but also adds an elegant touch to the pool's aesthetic.

Neutral grout options, like Mapei Keracolor FF or Ultracolor Plus in Manhattan 110 or Silver Grey 111, ensure you achieve a balanced look. These two light and dark grey tones provide versatility for most glass mosaic designs, maintaining a cohesive and attractive pool atmosphere.

However, specific cases may require different grout choices, particularly for darker mosaic tiles. For dark blue combinations—such as Aqua Mosaic 'Byron,' 'Corfu,' or 'Tenerife'—you can use neutral tones, along with Mapei Ultracolor Plus color 172 Space Blue, to enhance the blue hues beautifully.

Regarding dark green tiles or blends like Aqua Mosaic's 'Amazon,' 'Avocado,' 'Daintree,' and 'Forest,' utilizing a medium grey grout, such as Mapei Keracolor FF or Ultracolor Plus 112 Medium Grey, is the safest approach. It's best to avoid using green grout in this case.

Additionally, when working with black mosaic tiles or blends, black grout is not the optimal choice. Instead, a medium to dark grey grout—like Mapei Keracolor FF, Ultracolor Plus 112 Medium Grey, or 114 Anthracite—will complement the black tones while ensuring a polished look. These suggestions are also applicable to grey mosaic tiles.

Remember, while grout color may not be the focal feature of your pool or spa, it plays a crucial role in highlighting the beauty of your mosaic tiles and achieving an outstanding finish.
