More importantly did you use a green board or suitable backer, and did you use a red-guard type product to seal all joints at backer? You can typically find a tinted silicone type grout at your supplier, but it's what is behind it that matters most....

Sealing the tile and grout is only appropriate with certain tiles and grouts. Talk to a professional.
Glazed tiles are not to be sealed. Use non-sanded grout and no need to,seal.
Some natural stoned and sanded grouts would require sealing.
It is best to caulk at all edges and in all corners (although many do not but it will likely crack over time.
What yep tile do,you have? Grout?
