Where are they?
wait for a tradie to walk in to the aisle

Hard to say it just looks like white grout so the cheapest you can find to mix..
Are you going to paint the whole wall afterwards?
White silicone
I've had some success with mortafil. It comes in white.

I would try and colour match the tiles. Dunlop do a premix tube in various colours. Pick the colour closest to your tile
Alternatively I would just put a nice dab of silicone in there. When it dries run a Stanley knife blade over it so it's flush with the tiles.
Third option is just put the old mirror back up.
To get a better long long term fix drill the wall plug out so you can get more grout in the hole. Lookup Bunnies to see the brand of grout and then go to the brands web site and check out the color info and match as best you can. Then see if the nearest Bunnies has it in stock before you go.
The other option is to take a photo and go to a tile store and ask them to match the tile to a grout.
As mentioned earlier, just get a small tube of white silicone.
If you use silicone you wont be able to paint over as paint wont adhere to regular silicone. if you dont care they thats fine. if you want to paint then a regular surface filler is fine as its not a direct wet area like a shower cubicle. Or you could use a cement grout. Both will give a flush finish, but a proper filling compound (polyfilla, spakfiller type are best as they can be sanded flush easily
You do realise this is a hole in a ceramic tile?
Didnt look close enough thought it was plasterboard. Colour matched smooth cement grout would give closest in texture and appearance.
why don't you ask the experts at Bunnings?
