Just realized the tile work in that new coffee shop downtown uses a pattern I've never seen before.
I was grabbing a coffee at Brew & Bean on Main Street and noticed their floor uses a herringbone layout with 4x12 planks, but the grout lines are a dark charcoal that makes the pattern really pop, so I'm curious if anyone has installed something similar and what the prep was like for such a tight joint.

Wow, dark grout needs super clean tile edges.

Oh man, @amyh40, you're not kidding. I learned that the hard way redoing my own bathroom. I mean, I thought I wiped the edges clean, but with that dark grout every little smudge shows up like a neon sign. Had to go back with a tiny brush and some vinegar, took forever. Maybe it's just me but I'll stick with light grout from now on.

Yeah, that "took forever" part is the real truth. Dark grout is a total pain like that.
