color coordination

hello ikea fans, short time lerker, first time poster and longtime IKEA lover.....

just installed our STAT cabinets and ready to start with the coutertop/backsplash. My question is a short and sweet one so I hope yinz can help. I am going with granite tile "blue moon" as seen here: http://www.europeantile.net/Granites...LUE%20MOON.JPG
my blacksplash is going to be bisazza brand Nuvole glass mosaic here: Untitled Document and my floors are morning staff carbonized bamboo from lumber liquidators. Now that I have the background.....here is my question:

does it make sense to use different color grout for the counter and the backsplash? B/c I want to use a dark grout for the counter and a lighter grout for the backsplash.

Ok, I will sign off and listen to your responses.

Re: color coordination

Double check the links ... they both poit out to the same pic . Nonetheless, there is nothing wrong at all with using different color grouts.

Re: color coordination

I see both links, both backsplash and countertop. They both look nice and as Narf says, it won't matter with the grout.

BTW , welcome!!

Re: color coordination

Different grout will look great. Great choices there.

I can wait to see pics of your installed Stat cabinets. I just love Stat.
