Cement grout coloring?
I had many of the bluestones in my patio reset and re-grouted by a
mason. Now the new dry grout (made with portland cement) is a very different shade of grey than the non-replaced grout which has been there for upwards of 30 years. Is there anything I can purchase at Lowes/HD that can soak into the grout to make it a more uniform color/shade? Thanks, Walter |

Thanks, Walter Not sure if there is anything specific avail for grout, but I would think one of the semi-transparent concrete stain type products could be used. Not sure if you can get it perfectly uniform, but it would probably help even it out. |

You should grout stain all the grout the same color. You won't be able
to math different runs of portland cement. |
