Moben are just about to finish installing the kitchen (six weeks after they started - should have checked them out online first :) ). So now it's time for us to try our hand at tiling.
We bought cheap tiles with brown biscuit. Actually, we chose the tiles because we liked them and they look to be an easy fit, but a quick search of uk.diy throws up this post (basically biscuit showing throw at the edges of the grout line):

'm not too worried about that. Like the OP in that thread, I'm happy to use grout pen on all the joins (although as this one has12 "bricks" per tile, that's a lot of pen work :) ). What's concerning me is the finish on the top edge of the splashback. What do people usually do to mask the brown biscuit? I suspect "tile to the ceiling" or "use a plastic edging strip" are the likely answers, but as we're just tiling to ~400mm above the worktop, I'm hoping there's a way of painting them or similar. That'd avoid putting a bulky edging strip in.
If it helps, the tiles are cream and we're using white grout.
Thanks.
