I'm trying to sort out some repointing that I've done. Any advice on colour matching would be really appreciated.
I've repointed using singleton NHL 3.5, using a 1/3 mortar to sand mix. It looks absolutely luminous compared to the original. Now, I understand that it will always look brighter then 130 year old mortar, but is there any recommended mix or sand that will dull it down a little maybe?
I've a pic below so you can see what I mean. The new stuff is top right:
Any advice very much appreciated!
