I think it's an illusion now like the others said the paint and the light has made it look different

Maybe its the adhesive and funny enough, I was gona start a thread about something similar so thought I'd just hijack this one. You see, I bought a pallet of adhesive that's made in turkey, standard set and its in 2 batch's, c1 & c2, both floor and wall adhesive and C2 can be used for porcelain. C1 is grey and c2 is white. I've used c2 on all bottom row of tiles because its quicker set but wanting to know is it OK to use the grey grout on top tiles if they are a creamy colour face. I've always used white adhesive on light tiles so I'm entering uncharted waters here if I use the grey I have. I'm thinking it should be fine but thought I'd ask here first just in case. As for the creamy tiles, they are the reddish colour back you see in all ceramic tiles.

Same thing that happened to Fliselege's boss happened to me. The lady I was tiling for insisted I take all the tiles back to the shop. Luckily I had not stuck them to the wall. The shop insisted they were the same tiles as she had chosen. Eventually, she was convinced that the lighting in the shop and that the fact the tiles were grouted within the display caused her eyes to believe they were a different colour.
I tiled and grouted the tiles in her kitchen and she was delighted.

It was the grout that made all the difference. and as Alan says the colour of the paint will also fool the eye.

See she let you charge your phone while you were there.
Loose tiles look the same colour to me.

If you say Specsavers often enough you get a free pair - apparently.

water has got in behind the glaze?

happened to me on some cheapo 6x6 ceramics, all same colour when fitting, but then the odd few soaked the water in like a sponge and went darker than the rest
