Wayne,

Our tiles in the kitchen/laundry have a sort of very light 'peachy'
background color with patches/swirls(?) of various shades of brown in them.
We did fill in the crack with some grouting (if that's what it's called?)
that we tried to make the same color as the main part of the tile with some
coloring - but like I said it still shows if you look closely. Irritates
the cr*p outta me, because the previous owners left a whole bunch of other
useless stuff behind in the yard and they only picked up some of it - sigh.
A couple of spare tiles would have been a god-send, but I never thought to
ask if they had any before they left... silly me.
