Normally you would choose the slate of the correct colour.

Don't be daft. They dry to that colour. Just scrub them and put some
more sealant on them -or polish.


you can get a protective covering that will put a thin layer of "stuff" on
the tile to stop the dirt etc. from getting in, this does make them look
darker. We used this method in our porch area of the cottage.
