Providing it's clean is all that matters.  Make sure you've removed all the old sealant.  A blade from a Stanley knife will shave off any remnants.
I suggest you let it dry out fully after cleaning with a regular bathroom cleanser.  12 to 24 hours should do.
I'd recommend you use a silicone sealant of the best quality.  Don't skimp on a few pennies or you'll only end up doing the job again in a year's time.
Colour is a matter of personal aesthetic.
