How To: Make Vibrant Colored Grout

It's super easy, very cheap, and lots of fun to color your grout instead of using the same ol' same ol' off-the-shelf colors.

Tile up whatever you're tiling such as a backsplash, floor, wall.

There are two easy ways to do this: use Tints All or acrylic paint. Be aware that the colors may dry lighter once mixed with the grout so do a few sample test pieces.

My particular formula was about 2.5 lbs of unsanded grout and the full 8 ounce bottle of acrylic paint to get the most color possible. Add water slowly, mix, let it sit about ten minutes.

Grout as usual. Freak yourself out that you ruined your tile.

Once it all cleaned up, it turned out great!

Here's a comparison shot of the color in the bottle and the dried grout. Do a little dance that your grout is now unique and fun! Come on by my blog Flipping the Flip at humboldtartdept.blogspot.com for the full story, and much much more!
