Got my implant crown today & it now looks grey, how much does it normally cost to go back in & get a different shade? (Photo)

Originally I was quite worried about my crown not being the right size compared to my very small teeth so when I looked at my crown while it was being placed with temporary cement I was focusing more on that.
