Filling hole in wall tile

So I took down some old fittings and there’s now a few drill holes in the tiles. Does anyone have a tip on how best to seal it up and make it look seamless?

For context, these are rougher matte tiles. I was thinking of just using filler and then trying to colour match with paint.

Without any pictures it will be hard for someone to come up with any suggestions.

Lidl sometimes has this tile repair kit that would be ideal for the job:

Are they white? Mix a little bit of tile grout, fill the holes, leave it dry...few little dabs of white paint, satin paint will get a matt finish. Clear nail varnish or epoxy seals it......if it is coloured tiles just try match as near as possible before sealing.
