when the tiles are new, will they be stained by the dye in the grout

color,
or is there another solution?

I didn't use grout per se, used masonry mortar, uncolored. But any
cementacious material - colored or not - could stain them. It
wipes/washes off if you don't wait too long but I sealed mine (with the
acrylic) before grouting to make things easier. The sand in the mortar
tears that up a bit as one pushes the mortar around so I do another coat
of acrylic after the tiles/mortar dry before topcoating both with poly.
