I'm looking for some advice on staining my new grout. I have a newly installed-unsealed-polished limestone floor, but the grout color is too light. I'm looking into using a stain to recolor the grout. However, I am concerned about the stone. Any thoughts?

Limestone, marble etc., is porous and should have been sealed before grouting. It will be hard to stain the new grout without staining the stone. You can remove the grout and seal the stone. Not sure anything else will work. But I am sure others will chime in.
