New Shower Tiles are Discoloring

last month

We have a 3 month old house and our shower was tiled with plain white porcelain tiles and marble floor tiles. After only a few weeks, we noticed the edges of the wall tiles were turning reddish brown. It started in the corners of the tiles and is more visible the higher up you go in the shower. Now the white tiles have completely turned a different color (beige) with the exception of a few tiles scattered throughout the shower, which are still bright white. What is causing this? The tile manufacturer blames the installer and the installer is at a loss for what the cause is. They feel they did everything correctly. Any thoughts?
