Is there such a thing as cream caulk?

Hi all

I've recently tiled my kitchen part way up the wall - cream tiles and a light green paint above.

I'd like to apply some cream caulk above the tiles to give it a neat finish.

I have magnolia caulk but fear this maybe a little bright, a little yellow.

However, searching for 'cream' caulk seems to bring me back to magnolia on most web sites.

So am I searching for something that doesn't exist, and should I use magnolia?

Thanks!

Most cream I've seen is yellower than magnolia ;) Assume you mean silicone sealant? Decorator's caulk is something you paint over.
 
Ah, thanks!

I do mean caulk - this is because on some of my skirtings and coving I have used caulk after decorating and I really like the smooth finish.

I'm guessing that in this instance, however, it'd be the wrong thing to do? I just prefer the smooth border rather than the harsh and often uneven line of paint.

Thanks
 
Can you not find suitable edging/border tiles? I doubt caulk will stand up to water in a kitchen...

Thanks for the reply.

The edging looks okay but it's not a precise finish.

I don't think it needs to stand up to water as it's just the top of the tiles, about halfway up the walls. Or will moisture in general be an issue?

Thanks
 
I don't think you'll find a cream decorator's caulk but there are numerous ivory coloured sealants out there that might be a better match for you than magnolia. These are often acrylic, rather than silicone, although both are available from various manufacturers. It may be worth looking for one of those.
