Don't worry about the grout not matching. Get something called Grout Refresh or some other quality brand of grout paint and just paint all the grout (assuming it's not the entire first floor that is tiles lol). We used it on our brand new grout when it dried unevenly colored. Not only does the grout paint seal the grout making it super easy to clean but it allows you to change the grout color any time you want with not a lot of effort or cost.

I will be replacing some tiles today and am not worried about the grout lines at all as I will apply a new grout paint to the whole kitchen. It's been 5 years since I did it before and it still looks brand new but I had made a custom color at that time which is why I need to do it all again with the new color I bought. Having said that if you need to do repair in the future and have leftover of the paint you used previously you may be able to just paint the new grout and not everything else.

Bro….. What is the “proper adhesive”??? My tile is already off and I’ve cleaned out the old grout. I just wanted to see exactly what people use before I run out to the store 🤦‍♂️
