    What colour would be best to silicone the joint between tile and worktop.
    Im thinking medium brown to match the worktop...or cement grey to match the grout?

    Why not white to match the tile?

    I would go with white. White is the colour of the tile and will "be kinder" to any "undulations". I certainly would not highlight it with grey.

    What about using a matching wood upstand instead?

    Cheers, wanted to avoid white as dont want it to look manky after a few years, but your probably right that it will blend in and be less noticable.
