I like Inkscape grid colours. They look very clean and crisp. When I tired GIMP the grid colours were as if it had a tone of sepia to it.
It will great if anyone can teach me how to make GIMP grid as in Inkscape. Thanks.

You will have to be a bit more explicit.
Do you mean the 'virtual' grid as a drawing aid, where major and minor lines can be adjusted ? see: screenshot.

If this is a 'virtual' grid, that might be your computer display.

Probably not possible. The options I use are:
(1) The 'virtual' grid. Standard setup is a muted colour and dashed lines. Set that up in Edit -> Preferences or on an image-by-image basis in the Image menu.
(2) A rendered Grid. Two options the GEGL version and a legacy plugin.
(3) I keep a set of graphpapers, to use as a design aid. The Blue grid. Set as background, or (sometimes) on top with reduced opacity.

Thanks @rich2005, @denzjos
I was referring to view >grid in GIMP.
I will go through the instructions and see where I can improve. I tried a bit with the grid line colour. Now when zoomed in, it looks clean like Inkscape. But the suggested ideas looks better.
Davies video?
Great video. Make a grid / duplicate it / rotate one of them - There, now you do not have to suffer all the advertising.
There are Ofnuts path tools for various grids:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-pat...s/scripts/
path-shaped-grid-0.0.py (2014-04-26) Various grid shapes or a simple rectangular grid path-grid-0.1.py (2014-01-25)
These create paths so you do need to stroke them if required or just use a virtual grid and toggle visibility on/off as necessary Use that way and the path remains sharp whatever the zoom.

I was referring to the way you displayed adjustments. Since I am not a pro user, increasing spacing is enough for me. At the moment. I settled for proper line colour and what I get while zooming.
Considering what I see here, the scope is too broad with lots of options. :+1:
