What would happen if you decolorized your slide too much on a gram stain?
The purpose of any microbiological stain (gram or otherwise), is to enable visualization of features that would otherwise be clear/invisible in a sample. In this case, the darker crystal violet is used to stain the peptidoglycan cell walls of gram-positive bacteria. Washing the sample with too much ethanol (decolorizing too much) will remove too much stain, making it difficult or impossible to distinguish between gram-negative and gram-positive cells. Only the counterstain that is added after the ethanol wash (safranin, for example) will be visible.(see related links for example descriptions of Gram staining)
Why you can not use Gram stain for diagnosis mycobacteria?

What is the purpose of staining an unknown organism?
By doing differential stains on an unknown organism, you can learn more about that organism. One of the most helpful stains would be the Gram stain. The gram stain will differentiate from Gram positive and Gram negative cells, narrowing your bacteria down a lot. Other stains include: Acid-Fast stain, Capsule stain, Endospore stain, and PHB stain.
