I use the same colour as the grout Seanlong time since i tiled a kitchen but some customers actually say they dont want it done. some women clean and clean all day and can actually damage the sealant, plus nothing worse than seeing the dreaded black stuff behind the sink. i suppose kitchen tiles come in a lot more variance in sizes etc, often you can tile a kitchen with tiles that use a 2mm spacer but when grouted the lines can vary upto say 6/8mm depending on tile. so imagine in some cases trying to fill a 6/8mm gap with sealant on the worktop. always hard to get a colour that goes well with tile colour and worktop colour. I think in most cases transluscent would be a choice used. Like i say kitchen tiles can vary that much in sizes and this is where the problems start. i personally silicon but do get customers that prefer not to. So just obey the last command and state that if silicon is preferred later on it will be extra.
probably bcause they don't fancy going back the next day to silicon when all the surfaces are dry, Bob.
