How long after you grouted did you take the pictures?

About an hour

Give it time,some grouts can take 28 day's to cure

Ok it is drying lighter thou I though,thanks for your help thou

No worries,if you're still worried after giving it some time another option is to see if putting a sealer on it will uniform the colour (obviously test in a corner first)

OK I'm going to say it. You are a professional tiler yet you have never seen grey grout dry out before? You took a photo an hour after grouting and are having a fit because "IT'S DRYING"

As above. Bal gun metal is a light colour. It's dark when wet. It will dry in a few days to a light grey colour.

Is that the same as when the grout goes slightly darker when it gets wet in a shower and the customer thinks there is something wrong with it?!!

You have to watch using grey grout on shower walls. There is waterproof which shouldn't change colour, then there is water resistant which will.
