Coloured Grout Pen/Paint?

I'm beginning to wish I'd chosen a much darker tile grout when I had my bathroom fitted a couple of years back as I really like the look such a contrast gives.

I don't think I could be doing with getting somebody in to remove all the existing grout & then re-grout with a darker colour, so wondering if anybody has any experience having used a grout pen or paint to give me an idea of how successful these things are?

I used one of these 6 months ago, in my kitchen, with not too much hope of it being successful. I have to say that i was very impressed. It was easy to apply, looks good and has not cracked, discoloured or washed off when I use my steamer to clean the the floor. It actually looks better than the original grout which was a little lighter in colour

I have used the same type of pen as Carly above in the bathroom and it was very easy, took very well, and hasn't faded or worn even in the shower. The only thing to think about is how good your tiling it - if the tiles are not that straight then white grout will hide the imperfections, the darker grout will highlight any wonky tiles or less than straight lines...
