If I had it to do over again, I would do what she did.
We tiled our kitchen in a light (biscuit I think it was called) grout. I HATE it. The tiles are white with a slight grey marbling. Originally, we did not seal the grout. WEll, about a month ago, I spent my Saturday scraping out a layer of the grout and sealing it. It helped, but, I think eventually we will take the grout out and go with a dark grey to black grout. Also, like above poster said, smaller grout lines.
