Concrete Colors
Primary Concrete Colors
The following section focuses on your primary concrete color. Color charts are available to assist you in selecting your main or base concrete color. Your primary color(s) can be applied to almost any type of concrete, whether it be normal looking concrete, stamped concrete, or anything in between. Your primary color is typically applied in one of two ways, or sometimes both ways: Integral or Color Hardener. More information on these options can also be found in the section below.

Integral Color
Integral color is one solid color added to the concrete truck before it leaves the plant, and are the easiest to work with. This color will encompass the concrete completely from top to bottom and side to side.
Color Hardener
Color hardener is a powder throw or cast over the wet normal colored concrete after in has been poured and placed. Unlike integral color, color hardener only colors the top layer of your concrete. This method is typically harder, dirtier, and may cost a bit more than the integral option. Color Hardener offers a wider color palette and one or multiple colors can be cast overtop the wet concrete. For high-end projects an integral color can be supplied by the concrete plant and one or multiple color hardeners can be cast overtop the integral color to create multi-colored shades. When stamping a texture into the concrete another color will be introduced, this color is called your release, secondary or accent color. Release color charts are covered in the next section and only apply to stamped concrete applications.
