What colour silicone in tiled corners between floor and wall

[MortarThePoint]

One of the two tilers I used doesn't grout corners and leaves it to be siliconed with colour matched silicone. The other tiler didn't, but I am inclined to silicone the corners there too.

 

When the walls are white tile & grout and the floor is grey tile & grout, what is the convention in terms of silicone colour for the joints between floor and walls? I assume I use the same colour silicone as I am using in the wall-wall joints, so white.

 

In another bathroom, I have grey tile & grout on both walls and floor. That leaves me wondering about the joint between the shower tray and the walls (and floor too). Also up the shower cubicle edge strips (chrome).

I used same colour as the grout.

I meant to say the grout is the same as the tile colours so have now edited it to make that clear. In the first room I mentioned, it's white grout on walls and grey grout on floor. The other room has grey grout all round

I think the main quandary is what colour silicone to use on the white shower tray, chrome shower enclosure and white toilet when I have grey tile grout on the floor and walls. White feels the natural choice, even if it does create corners that have grey silicone coming down the wall and then white silicone going along the tile to shower tray joint. White feels natural against the white shower tray, but white between the chrome enclosure rail and grey tile is less obvious.

 

The grey tiles have Weberjoint Ice Grey grout and I've got the matching silicone:

Grey silicone on white sanitary ware would irritate me more than white silicone on grey tiles.   Done well the white silicone could look like part of the shower tray and almost disappear from one’s notice.  
 

But  don’t do aesthetics, J does.  One has to recognise one’s pay grade lol

I'm with G on this. Match the show tray.

 

And I also know my pay grade 😀

I always grout that joint, to the shower tray, pushing it in deep with a sponge and leaving a valley on purpose. 
 

After grout is bone dry, 2 days or so, I use clear CT1 and use it very sparingly to create the final seal. 
 

Lasts decades, whereas silicone doesn't, plus white silicone is a bar steward to keep looking fresh.

Glass set down into CT1, excess evident. 
 

 

Excess wiped away when wet, with lots and lots of baby wipes.

 

 

Apart from the rising internal corner and the internals of the niche, all of this ensuite was a near zero silicone finish. All observing minimal grout at junctions, clear CT1’d with anything excess removed, and still looks 👌 (imo). You can just about see where the colour matched silicone diminishes on purpose before meeting the floor tile, so the change isn’t so obvious.
