Putting in 1" green glass mosaic tiles, and we don't like the looks of the white grout you typically see. Can anyone recommed a grout that's neutral with the coke-bottle green glass tiles?

Also, how do you usually finish off an exposed edge with the glass mosaic tiles? One manufacturer's literature says "There is no need for a bull nose with glass tile because there are no raw exposed edges". So what do I do - a bead of caulk?

Most 1" glass tile is finished on all sides straight out of the box. No finish is required. Typically a little grout is applied to the edge of the tile at the base and once cleaned up everything is fine and looks good.

You might consider sandstone from custom building products, carried at home depot. Or light smoke by tec. Carried by your local tile store.

There are mouldings specifically made for tiling that you could use. They come in varying thickness, metal or plastic.
