If there is some unifying principle the color, for example it would be a more subtle difference and work. I love the Craftsman trim :.

Some recommend using a "profile" to finish the edge, or chrome capping or sloped grout over the cut edge. Basically your options are to either grout "up" at a 45 degree angle, or you could use a cove or bull nose tile, or possibly add a metal edge trim ex: Schluter above it, though that may not work out perfectly since the edge trim sticks out a tiny bit, and isn't made exactly for that having to be cleaned, etc.
