Having looked at their stuff I would not recommend a dark grout even on a light work, also since they use real marble, they recommend that you apply a sealant as well so as not to stain the stone. As most of the designs are pretty much classic I would expect that the grout should be too.
All that leads to a light, preferably off white shade that would allow the work to stand out, rather than the grout. Good luck with it.
