Answer 1

I would pick the lightest color in the mosiac and try to match it the best. It is best if the color of the grout is not the main color of the mosiac as well. Try to pick one of the lighter colors that does not appear as much in the mosiac, this will bring out that color more and make it more breathtaking.

Ok...Here's the deal. You want the grout to visually disappear, right? My experience has been that when you are working with a multi-colored mosaic tile, your grout should be closest to the predominate color in the tile. Squint your eyes and look at the tile. What color pops out at you? That's what your grout should be.

Once you've selected your grout color, hold the grout sample up to your mosaic tile and do the squint test again. If the grout "disappears", you've got the right color grout.

If you have a couple of choices that look good, go with the darker of the choices.

i would just try to make a match as close as possible to the mosaic because if you do a dark color all you would see is the grout not the piece if you want this piece to stand out just get close to the color as much as you can

good luck

Darker is always better when grouting. Lighter shades can look "kitch" as they accentuate the grouting and makes the whole piece look "bitty". Try to go with the closest colour to the darkest beige in the piece. I hope it helps.
