Give the 10 to quest. The suggested product is effective; I'll just add two cents.
Be aware that once dry/set/hard/ grout is water resistant certainly. Also a floor endures more abuse than any other surface in a home.
Grout dye also acts as a modest sealer; which is a good thing; but might still need regular maintenance, and occassional re-dye applications.

As one other answer suggests and I realize AFTER the fact it doesn't help; but for future reference you can MIX various colors; much as you can paint; to achieve differences. I'm remediating 11,000 sq. ft. of tile in a school currently, with no extra tile left for me to work with and no OLD/EXTRA coffee brown grout; so I'm mixing two colors of dry to match as cloesly as possible.

You can buy grout dye from Home Depot and yes, it comes in brown and black. As said above, Aqua Mix is very good.

I am not sure about NOW, but you can buy coloring to mix in with grout (before you put it on) at Lowes or Home depot.
