Between the three of them you should be able to match... Alternatively gouge the old grout out and re do. Brick acid attacks grout pretty well..;-) |

This stuff isn't bad: http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=102589&ts=81844&id=98439 I think if I were you I'd be concentrating on cleaning up or renewing the old grout rather than trying to make the new stuff look old and grubby...
