Does Kohler recolor existing fixtures? Do you have pedestal sinks and tubs for art deco period such that one could get a light teal or purple tub or sink?
Re: Does Kohler recolor existing fixtures? Do you have...
The companies don't recolor fixtures but there are bath refinshing outfits that do. There are also do it yourself kits to be had. I did a harvest gold shower once and it still looks good after 7 years.

You cannot. As you state, it is discontinued, confirmed on Kohler site.
If color is really important, consider painting it or a new replacement using an appliance epoxy spray paint such as Rust-Oleum after careful preparation of the surfaces.
did your old diverter have a shut off knob on it? if so you may have not noticed it leaking, -what causes that is the existing shower faucet may have been mounted to high from the spout below -or the pipe going down from existing fixture to the tub faucet spout pipe may not be at least 3/4", -if its 1/2" it will always do that
Your fixture body may be corroded beyond repair. Since you've replaced all the rebuildable parts, I'd suggest you get a plumber to check it but expect that you'll need to replace the faucet. Get a modern "cartridge" (Delta, Moen or Kohler) fixture that can be easily repaired indefinitely.
It's probably a combination of the color and, in my opinion the sink not being properly sealed during manufacturing. All sinks, bath etc. need to be sealed to prevent staining. You may be able to get a professional restoration kit to clean it up. It's not cheap, but a lot less than a new sink.
There are people out there who go around and repair porcelain sinks and tubs, and fiberglass, You could try the home repair kit but they don't work that good, I fixed a brand new tub with epoxy paint that just happened to be the exact color. When the pros come to your house, they set up infrared and UV lights, mix up a little stuff, put it on the re and hit the lights, you can't even tell where it was chipped! But they don't come cheap. Hope this helps.
The pedestal is caulked on top and buttom.
remove the caulking you can remove the pedestal. make sure the sink is bolted to the wall, there should be 1 bolt on each side of the sink. (looking from buttom up.)
At the base of the plug there is normally a stud with a thread on it to allow you to raise and lower the plug so that it seals or empties.
If that is not how your oulet is made then there is a lever behind the or to the side of the outlet underneath the sink, that also is adjustable on most sinks.
Sometimes it is via a spring clip which rusts and loses its grip
The consensus here is a medium to pale/light blue - black or dark blue would blend better, but it would be one darn dark bathroom. You want something that blends, not accentuates the purple.
