The mosaic just needs a bit of water chucked over it prior to the photo and you'll see the original colours.
These mosaics would have had the surface ground down after completion and this has the effect of dulling all the colours (with mechanical cutting you get a 'whitish' appearance to most colours)for example black can appear as dark grey.
There shouldn't be any fading of what we term the true colour of the stone it's just reverted back to it's unpolished state.

Asking me to tile your bathroom is like asking Vermeer to creosote your shed ;-)
