    colored grout will fade w/ sun exposure and elements stains are really acceptible as well. What the brick layer should of done was cut each brick so the reveals (gaps) are the same front to back like this: http://y0manda.serveftp.net:81/album...0006.sized.jpg

    each brick was cut so that it would take the radius evenly.
    the grout should of been just a silica sand and plastic cement w/ some acrilic admixture for waterproofing.

    as far as repairing the color you might want to try to just clean the grout and brick with a diluted muriatic acid 20:1 and rinse it off quickly. OR if the grout looks even when it's wet you may want to try and seal it with a WATER BASED sealer that doesnt yellow or turn milky. and it will give it that 'wet look' all the time. If you do seal it the brick and grout must be cleaned. you can find brick & stone cleaners at home depot. Btw home depot sells a water based sealer I used on my brick that is still looking great after 6 months is Jasco.

    Good Luck.
