I'm wondering why they didn't stop after the first two or three sections and ask the manufacturer if this is the intended effect--had to have shown up immediately.
I'd agree w/ Don Y here--while it may be theoretically feasible unless you've got _way_ too much time on your hands the sheer number of pieces you'll have to replace to eliminate the effect is, I think, going to make it essentially impossible simply owing to that time required even if it works on an individual basis to fit in another.
I'm sure it was colored before it was fired, yes. You can try but I'd strongly recommend learning what it actually is, first. Obviously, try whatever you do on tiles of the product not installed first.
Have you contacted the manufacturer w/ the picture and asked if this is the expected outcome just to be certain? While as said, looks like it was deliberate, there is always the potential for a production error and quality control slip-up that let defective product out. You just _might_ get some relief if that were so.
Also, as Don Y points out, what's the cause of the top 5-6" color difference that seems overall darker than the rest?
