restoring original colour ro slate floors

 
I have slate floors in my house - installed new 13 years ago.  I am disappointed in the floors now, because the original lovely colouring in the slate has now become mostly just a brown colour floor.  I periodically restore the shine to the floors by re-sealing, and before re-sealing I give the floors a good wash, with a solution, or just a light detergent and thorough rinse.  However, the floors just look a shiny brown colour and I wonder where the original "primrose dawn" (the colour name of the slate) has gone.  I have asked advice at slate places, but they just say to give the floors a good wash, and re-seal, but that original colour has not returned.  What can I do?
