Quikrete 1317-01 Liquid Cement Color, 10oz, Brown

I bought these for contractors to put in the concrete mix they purchased for the 5' x 7' stoop at my front door months ago. They mixed it in while mixing the concrete and I am very satisfied with the color. It is not perfectly solid color, but almost and looks like there is a subtle design due to slight color variations.I purchased the dark brown, but asked the contractor not to put all of it in because I wanted a lighter color. It is important that the the color is added to the whole batch of concrete at once -- if done in smaller batches, significant color differences in batches will probably occur.When wet, the color of the concrete takes on a darker color, so you can tell which part of my stoop is dry and which is not after a rain.I am very pleased with the result.

I paint my fish pond walls with Drylock water proofer. I sprinkle a few drops on top of the paint then dip my brush. I get a random dark pattern that makes my pond walls look more natural.

Again, this was for a stepping stone project I was doing with children. Plain old gray concrete is a bit boring so this brought a unique touch to each project - some wanted solid brown and others liked to more or less swirl the color in as they stirred the mix to end up with sort of a marbled gray / brown pattern - either way it worked out very well. Clean up was easy as we immediately washed the cement mixing buckets out right away and no residue color remained behind. The resulting stepping stones have seen both rain and hot sun and still look like new. I just wish there were more color options available - some blue or orange or red would be fun. Bright yellow - smiley face stepping stones - very cool.

Recommend using a dropper. Mixes wonderfully. Added it to orange and made a lovely rust color. Then with wine made a beautiful maroon. Lots of options.

Doesn’t go far enough for the money! I think paint would work just as well
