Colors of Concrete
- Closer to the color of baked clay than a fire engine, Brick Red is a muted shade that works as well around pools as it does on exterior walls. This color is warm and dark, absorbing more light and heat from the sun than lighter shades.
- A dark gray that appears black in some light, Graphite is a cool neutral color that works well with both light and dark colors but clashes with brown and several shades of cream. This color absorbs a great deal of heat from the sun and can raise the ambient temperature of an area if used over a wide area.
- A medium earth tone, Harvest Gold blends well with autumn leaves when used to color the sidewalk or garden path. Harvest gold also makes a neutral color for concrete exterior, neither absorbing nor reflecting too much light.
- Still an unconventional color, plum is a light purple designed to complete a specialized look. This color works well with white as well as shades of gray and blue.
- Although it changes the color only slightly, Light Gray pigment is added to concrete to maintain a consistent and smooth color. This shade works well on sidewalks, walkways and as the color for the walls and floor of a garage.
- This shade resembles the wet sand of a coastal beach. Sand Tan closely matches stucco coloring and is often used as a color for southwestern-style homes.
- The color of pool table felt, the green shade provides a drastic change from the regular concrete color. This shade suits basketball and tennis court areas as well as finished garage or basement areas.
- Ranging in shade from taupe to gold depending on how much pigment is used, Buff is actually a variety of colors. These colors neither absorb nor reflect a great deal of sunlight making them useful as a home exterior.
- Another exotic choice, Cobalt Blue is very different from concrete. This specialty color costs more to produce than other colors but makes a charmingly unconventional shade for a walkway.
