Changing color of travertine tiles

Pamela Perretti
10 years ago

I am building a home in a development and may have goofed on my kitchen backsplash. I chose an ivory travertine from a display board in the builder's selection room. When it was installed, the tiles had various shades of ivory, tan, and brown. The darker tiles are too dark for the granite countertop. I am stuck with it because the builder said I chose it and the board said to expect variations of color.

Question: is there a way to lighten the darker tiles? Or am I in for a remodel before I even move in?

Thanks! I'll try anything!
