Grout can be painted. Clean really well with a baking soda and hot water paste. Clean with 1 part vinegar and 1-1/2 part water. Let dry completely. You can use acrylic paint* sold in small containers in art stores. Use sparingly and let dry. Seal with grout sealer. Good luck.
*I advise against white. White is often opaque and hard to completely cover.

Grout is the EASIEST and most inexpensive thing to do!
Regrout! You will be so much happier!
