Nope 2 colours I believe unless they have updated it.

Not sure... Jamie.. but IMO only very white limestone and some marbles are effected by the acetic.. and some silicones contain solvent and that can bleed as well.. One good thing is mapesil AC is solvent free.

Weber do a Silicon for stone as well as their normal one, I would assume that this one would be???

Weber's Silicon should be the same as Dow Corning, as they supply it for them.
