Landscaping help please - grouting!

Options
Hi All
We have just today had our new patio laid (by a friend who is a landscaper) but to save money we are going to do the grouting ourselves so he doesn't have to drive back up to do it 24h later (as he doesn't live local). We have gone for very light grey (almost white) porcelain tiles but we can't seem to find white/very light grey grouting which isn't a slurry mix. Does anyone know of a white external grouting which is more the brush-in kind which takes no time at all rather than a slurry mix?
Thanks

    This is a gardening forum; we can spot a Ginkgo at 100 paces, but knowing a type of grout could tax us as much as asking a financial planning specialist to recommend a table saw. You might get a direct hit, but.....
    The forum where the grouters hang out is 'In My Home.' You could also consider ringing your friend, who might tell you a silver sand and cement mix could work, but that's just a guess. :)

    Why don’t you want a slurry mix ? I’m just about to grout my porcelain patio and the research I’ve done steers me towards a product called easygrout. Comes in three colours which includes a light coloured so would work for you. I’ve you Google it there are several helpful videos on how to apply it and it looks straight forward. I assume you are worried about staining the light coloured patio slabs. I think if you follow the instructions you will be ok.
