limestone
As for why it is lighter
1.It may have been enhanced before and when you ran diamonds which I assume you did and if you were going to hone and polish I would also assume you went down to at least 220 grit which surely would have taken off a previous enhancer and since I am sure you wouldn't have ran your 220's to the edges than part may still have had the enhancer making it darker.
2.When you hone a stone like that limestone if you go down to say a 120 or 220 and get it to that honed of a state in order to really get the color all back when you get to polish you really have to work your diamonds don't rush thru the grits I have ran into the same problem you had but then went back thru my lower girts basically re honed then by the time I was at 800 I was virtually there I finished with 1800 and mb-12 was a perfect color match with a section we didn't even do.
Good Luck....
Always Test small sections or extra tiles if available.

Subject: [sccpartners] Polished limestoneHi fellas,I ran into a situation I have not come across before and am looking for some feedback. I honed and polished a dark brown polished limestone floor yesterday. The end result was about three shades lighter than the tiles on the wall. Why? And what could be done to get it to match? A color enhancer?I found stepping up to 1500 grit helped some but not very much. Your comments are appreciated.Jason
