Colours shown are indicative — actual shade and texture depend on tile, lighting and job-site conditions. Sumoxy 2K & 3K share the same shade range; glitter shades add a metallic sparkle not fully reproduced on screen. Always confirm against a physical shade card before ordering.
Grout is 2–3 mm of the floor you see for the next twenty years — and the joint colour changes how the whole surface reads. This visualiser lets you preview grout shades against tile colours before committing, instead of judging from a 10 mm printed swatch at the counter.
Pick a tile colour close to yours (or the closest preset).
Try a matching shade first — joints recede and the floor reads as one surface.
Then try a contrast — joints become a visible grid, which suits patterns, mosaic and feature walls.
Shortlist two shades and check them at your site in daylight and evening light before finalising.
| Your tiles | Safe choice | Confident choice |
|---|---|---|
| White / off-white | Light grey (seamless) | Charcoal grid for a graphic look |
| Grey / cement-look | One shade darker than the tile | Warm beige to soften the grey |
| Wood-look planks | Warm beige / brown near the grain | Never bright white — it breaks the plank illusion |
| Dark / black | Matching dark | Silver-grey only if you want the grid visible |
| Colourful / mosaic | Match the dominant colour | Neutral grey lets the pattern speak |
| Kitchens & high-traffic floors | Mid-grey / greige | Dark joints hide traffic marks best |
Rule of thumb: matching grout flatters the tile, contrasting grout flatters the layout. Choose based on which one you paid more for.
The same grout colour reads completely differently at 2 mm and at 5 mm. Thin rectified joints in a matching shade almost disappear; the same shade at 5 mm draws a visible frame around every tile. Decide width and colour together — the visualiser previews the shade, your spacer choice decides how much of it you will actually see.
Light joints in cement grout are the highest-maintenance choice on a floor — porous joints pick up traffic film and need sealing to stay uniform.
Epoxy joints (SUMOXY) keep their installed colour in wet areas and kitchens — the joint is impervious, so the colour decision is one-time.
Mid-greys and greige are the most forgiving family across rooms — they hide both dust and dark staining.
Dark joints show soap scum and hard-water marks in bathrooms sooner than mid-tones — dark ≠ zero maintenance.
Light grey is the safe default — it reads seamless but does not show every speck the way pure white joints do. Charcoal against white is the deliberate high-contrast look; commit to it only if the tile layout is worth framing.
Mid to dark tones (grey, greige, charcoal) hide traffic staining far better than light joints. If you want light joints in a kitchen, use an epoxy grout — its joints are impervious and stain-resistant, unlike cement joints.
Epoxy joints (SUMOXY) are impervious and stain-free by nature, so the colour you install is the colour you keep — including in wet areas. Cement joints are porous and benefit from sealing to stay uniform.
Yes — SUMOXY Sparkle is a metallic additive (gold, silver, copper) mixed into SUMOXY epoxy grout, used for feature walls and mosaic where the joint is part of the design.
Matching makes the surface read as one plane and suits large-format minimal floors. Contrast emphasises the grid and suits patterns, small formats and handmade-look tiles. When unsure, match — it dates better.
