white addy will be better cos you can cover it with a lighter grout!
do they need sealing?
what colour grout are you going to use?

marc1106,Thanks for the quick reply,the customer is sealing them because its only a small splash back (35tiles) and grouting them .she only wants me to cut them to fit around the sink and fix them to the wall.

The adhesive matches the stone you use, as the colour could grin through on a porous stone, in the notched trowel look ! ie: white cream marble, white adhesive and of course, match the adhesive to the grout as usual.
