I had to re-lay a few tiles in the foyer about a year ago and the new grout is way lighter than the old. (Same original color, though). The plan was to leave the new grout unsealed for a while and let it 'blend' with the old. Didn't happen! :(

Any way to 'darken' the new grout, or am I in for a job of digging it out and using a different (darker) shade?

Aquamix and TYW Store both have good products on the market for this purpose you have. Here's a couple of links that should help you out.

Thanks. I'll check them out. I really don't want to have to start digging out grout. :(
