I've recently acquired a box elder inlayed sebenza. It's got a beautiful light color that i'd like to keep. After reading countless threads i kept seeing one commonality, renaissance wax. I bought some and applied it and feel like it's got a great protection from absorbing anything that may darken or discolor the inlays. It's probably too late for you, as it won't bring the luster back, but for anyone who doesn't want this to happen i would highly recommend it. Even CRK mentions it in their care section for wood inlays.

This is the way.
 
I’m a little late to the conversation, but snakewood is an oily wood that will tend to darken over time. It’ll also darken with exposure. The only way to lighten it up would be to refinish it—remove surface material and treat. I would not recommend that. You’d almost certainly damage the titanium around it. Other woods, like the box elder, will not do the same thing—at least not at all to the same degree.
