How do you color concrete?

There are two main ways to color concrete:

1. Color the mix (integral color).
   Pigment is added to the concrete truck for consistent, through-slab color.
2. Color the surface.
   Products like color hardeners, stains, or tinted sealers are applied to the top for richer tones or decorative effects.

Many contractors use integral color as the base, then add surface color for depth.

What color is concrete naturally?

Concrete is naturally various shades of gray. The exact tone depends on the local cement, sand, and aggregates in the mix. This natural gray base influences how pigments or surface colors appear, so creating a mockup is important before committing to a final color.

What is the best color for concrete?

There is no single best color for concrete. It depends on your project and environment. Light colors reflect heat but tend to show more dirt. Dark colors absorb heat but do a better job hiding dirt and wear. Most contractors recommend a color that complements the architecture, landscaping, and surrounding materials.
