What Grout Color Should I Use With My Tiles? Pics Included?


Hi guys, almost finished tiling my tub surround. It was a big project (with removal of the old tub, fixing mold issues, putting in a new tub, putting up durock, etc) considering my day job got a lot busier and left me with little time for the tub. But it’s almost done now. However, I wished I had spent more time on the color schemes, but oh well, it doesn’t look horrible. So with that knowledge, I want to ask some advice on what color grout I should use with my tiles. Right now I bought some Mapei Sanded grout that is Biscuit in color, but I think it may blend too well with my tiles and I want my grout lines to show up. I was thinking maybe just plain white. Technically, I should probably use something brown to go with the background color of the tile, but I think that will just make the area look weirder (I already think the tub surround looks a little bit too brown). But I am no design guy, I actually hate making those decisions, so help me out, pick out my grout color for me:)
Here are the pictures:

And just so you know, obviously the tiles are not done yet in the pics. And the bit of white you see on the tiles and in the grout lines is just some white mortar that I will clean up later. The red in the niches is RedGard, and will later be covered by tile. And the black writing on the tiles will wash off, they are just some markings I made on them for measurements, etc.
