Seems like Travertine is a bit of dirty word on this site, but wanting to lay something with a consistent cream colour that doesn't cost mega bucks....
Wanting an ivory grout for pointing and also to fill some/all the little holes so they don't get full of gunk - is this a good idea?
I've read lots of talk of the elusive Romex, but has anyone used Ardex Flex or Granfix? What's best for the job?

Ivory grout? If it's indoor tiling, that's readily available from tiling suppliers, as LLL has said, but if this is for extenal work, the chances of Ivory remaining Ivory for more than a couple of weeks is pretty low. Detritus (as we call it on Sundays) will accumulate on the joints and change them from ivory to mucky brown.
Of course, you could wash them down every couple of weeks, but is it worth the effort?
To create an 'ivory' mortar, you'd need to make an off-colour white mortar, as described in an adjacent thread. Personally, I'd go for the palest of the polymerics: they usually call it "honey" or "sand" or "sable".
