Below are some useful tips on how to avoid costly mistakes. The very first thing to consider is that the color of the finished concrete will not exactly match the projected color. There are so many factors that affect the color of concrete, such as cement, aggregate, and even the weather, so that it is impossible to get an exact match with the design color. According to the results of research, colored concrete usually turns out to be approximately two or three shades lighter in reality than is assumed in the design. Thus, the color schemes used in the design can only give an approximate representation of the possible shade of concrete.
