Des · Answer

A little bit but probably better to get an intensifier

Jason · Answer

Only if you use a sealer with a colour intensifier in ,
There are different sealers ,ie clear this would mke it appear a little darker ,but if you get one with a colour pigment in , it will mke  them darker, we just use linseed oil 
Hope that helps

Csaba · Answer

When asked we always advise LTP Boiled Linseed Oil to fill the larger more open pores of the tile first. This is a very traditional and organic way of sealing and it does make the terracotta a little darker, but there are two big advantages when using this as a primary sealing solution.

William · Answer

Only if you use an acrylic sealer. If you use an imorwgnator it shouldn't

Joey · Answer

This can be the case depending on the sealer you use. I would opt for the transparent sealer. Lifothin stainstop is my go to.

Dan · Answer

Depends on the sealant I would advise a clear transparency sealant should not change the tone very much

Stephen · Answer

Use the best silicone sealant over the grout around  the edges.use interior or exterior
