Is there anyway to neutrlized or remove the color of the grout that absorbed into the tile? The tile wasn't sealed before grouting. The color grout picked was to dark and has overwelmed the tile.

Put a name in your post for us.How bad is it, has the trav sucked it into all it's voids?Typically you could use a grout haze remover(Not an acidic one) and a stiff brush.I use a buffer with a coarse nylon brush, or a brown or red pad,and just water, then i use an enhancer,or hone it if it needs it.Hopefully you can remove the bulk of it without harming the surface,don't use a black pad,it will be too coarse and scratch it.Now if there are big voids i'm afraid you'll never get the grout out of those.
