How can I lighten or change the color of grout on my backsplash?
Just had backsplash out in. I was told the color would lighten up as it dried. It did not. It was suppose to be light gray but it looks bluish gray.

If you had a pro do it, contact them and tell them the color of the grout did not lighten as it was supposed to lighten. They may redo it or have a way they can lighten it.
