We have just tiled our counter tops and the tile is dark with grey grout. The grout all came from the same container - on one side it is grey and the other counter it is white. Wet it and it looks grey but dries white. What can we do with it? any idea why it would do this?

If you bought the premixed grout then you did not stur the can enough.
If you tryed to add color to a dry mixed grout then once again you did not mix it enough.
Remove the grount and try again is the best way to make sure they all are the same color.

Did the same person do both counters?

Sounds like too much water used to clean the whiter one. A stone enhancer may correct the problem.Smile

Home Centers sell grout saws for around seven bucks, that's the easiest way to remove the grout.Smile The sooner you do it the easier it will be to remove.Smile
