i grouted some tile and the grout color is lighter than the color swatch on the box. I mixed it well etc. Color darkens considerably when it is wet (actually it darkens more than the color swatch) but gradually fades to too light as it dries. I sealed a small area which looked good until the sealer dried. Then the color was too light again. I've tried muriatic, stone brite and color enhancer by Aquamix. Any suggestions? thankyou!

as you now know always do a small area that can't be seen first - those color swatches stink. you can paint grout but that is a pain, I would see how it ages, even if grout is sealed it will darken with the dirt that accumlates.
