Did a quick and dirty mini-test with a 4" piece of track. Didn't have any black tile grout in the house, but had some gray wood putty (the stuff you use to repair screw holes in a normal wooden wall before sanding and repainting).
So I put a little on a piece of foam and then pressed the ties down into it, and used my finger to add a little smeared over the ties (but not completely covering them).
Consistency wise it looks fairly earth-like, but the color of course is fairly light - it would need to be mixed with a little paint before application to give a darker earth color:

Not so sure I would want this stuff anywhere near the moving parts of a turnout, though.
How did your test go, Tetters ?
Smile,
