Ok, all welcome..................

Have tiled the kitchen with white gloss tiles, counter top is black (with motled grey) in it.

Question............. Should I seal the tile / counter gap with white or black silicon?

    I'd have white because I like white. I voted black though for what it is to go with. Really it is best to go with what the main kitchen user likes because they are the ones who have to spend the most time seeing and living with it.
