I am tiling an en suite wet room, walls and floor in the same tile, it is a very small area so I want the grouting to be the same color, has anyone ever used white grouting on floor tiles ? Good, bad idea ??
 
Use white floor grout not the same white that you are using on the walls, you may want to use an additive to make it less prone to staining as white grout can show dirt easily.

Although I always advise customers against white grout on floors it is personal choice. White grout, as mentioned stains very easily. In a bathroom the oils from the body and bath additives stain the grout. I M O I would use another colour.
 
I'd advise you against using white grout on floors - it looks grubby after a short time. Grey is about the most popular colour; it looks smart and doesn't show dirt.
What colour are your tiles? Unless you're using white tiles or bold strong colours, I find white grout can look a bit cheap on wall tiles. Also gets grubby quick too. If the tiles will go with an off-white grout I'd recommend you do so. Limestone or Ivory look good and don't show staining anywhere near as much as white does.
 
Im not Atiler allthough I have done a bit..what about using grout the same colour as the tiles themselves?
