What Colour Silicon?

[harrylime]

I have tiled my shower recess and grouted with Weber grey grout. Obviously I will use white Silicon between the tile bottoms and the tray. I intend to use grey Silicon for the two vertical corners. What should I use between the tops of the tiles and the white painted ceilings; I assume white?
Also can anyone advise a good colour matched Silicon to go with weber grey grout. I was thinking of using Mapei Silicon as it seems to be well regarded on here and is stocked by screwfix, which is local to me.
I'd appreciate any advice.

Webber light grey Silicon, for all of it.

Weber have colour matched Silicon for their grouts. Personally I don't like to see two colours of Silicon together (unless there are two colours of grout), I like to match the grout and keep it all the same.

I know what you mean about different colour grouts. However, I've never seen coloured grout next to a shower tray, and I am also thinking about when the ceiling is painted again. Easier to paint up to white grout than grey, I think

Caulking to ceiling then you can paint it. As above regards Silicon.

Really, caulk in a shower recess?

Why not! It's only paint above?
Personally, I would just grout.

thanks for your thoughts, much appreciated. Grout may be the way to go, I already siliconed the top of the tile backer boards

I've never caulked the gap at the top where the tiles meet the ceiling, always grouted. A good quality grout will not crack.

caulk at the top for me 😉
