I would first try a deep clean using a 240 grit brush and a hydrochloric  acid based cleaner or maybe SCC grout and tile cleaner. If that does not work try a liquid based paint stripper such as Jasco sprayable if you feel it is coated.

Chris,

I would attempt to use a combination to fix this problem. I would use a
stripper called Renegade we get out our local Daycon janitorial center.
After stripping a couple times, (using a Malish brush) I would use an
acidic cleaner(as the stone has a rough surface/honed/flamed) and oxyclean
combination. The Malish brush will be ideal for the textured surface and
the oxyclean may help brighten the older tiles to help match more closely
the new ones. Good luck!
