Restoring granite items to their original colour

I have purchased quite a lot of granite walls, arches, stairs and blocks, all of them "brown" (hue 0).
Some of these were originally dull copper, shadow, copper, etc.
I tried to restore the colour of a valorite wall by first applying red natural dye to it and then plain natural dye. The result was "grey" (hue 2101) while I'd hoped for "valorite" (hue 2219).
Does anyone have any idea if this is possible? If so, how?
Thanks in advance for your hints and tips!

Sorry, there's no way I know of, scouring toxin will remove the colour totally, making it regular stone coloured.

Many thanks, @skett and @Petra Fyde
I'll hunt some big snakes in Ter Mur for their venom sacs and will try the "bleach" quest to see what results I get.
I'm also going to see if I can contact the vendor where I bought the granite walls, because I find it difficult to imagine that they'd go to so much trouble to "uncolour" the items and get them sold.
As soon as I know more, I'll update this thread.

Save your bleach

so I tried bleach and it turns the walls back to the default jungle wall hue the brown color even though it was shadow iron granite to start with blackish color :(
