    Q:How do I know if the right powder is in the boxes. My "Buff" powder looks too red. and thats how the mortar came out in two test patches - too red. This so-called Buff powder is more red than the terracotta powder that we used a decade ago.

          After spalling all but ruined my walkway I decided resurface it instead of having a work crew at my house during this darn pandemic. I decided to add some color to the resurfacing mix. I've never used cement color before but it was rather easy. Just followed the directions and used a digital scale. The finished product is awesome. As I hoped it would. I'd recommend this product even for beginners.

          The color didn't take when combined with the concrete. I'm returning the other box.

          I prefer this powder to the liquid because mixing is so much easier.

          I am using Sakrete buff cement color to make garden markers and plaques. I have also used it for doing concrete stone walkways with different shades in the assorted concrete stones. It gives a good variety of colors. A little goes a long way depending on the saturation of color needed.

          Sackrete concrete colors add character and color to your concrete projects. Use as a solid color or mix to create other color mixes. How deep the color will depend upon how much color you add. I use color mixes in concrete slabs and in mortar mixes. As you can see in the video, I creat multiple colors using different colors and vary those colors with the amount mixed in. With mortar, I mix the color in before adding water. For concrete, if I am using a power mixer, I add color when I add the cement. As a wheelbarrow mix, I add the color before the water. Don't be afraid to get creative.

          Excellent product, works with the cement mix we use for miniature building supplies. We were able to make miniature red bricks look identical to the larger sized found at your store.

          Color your concrete job
          When I got back from Vietnam my first job was on a union concrete crew. A tough job, that paid great money. Since then I have felt comfortable using concrete.I have never used a color in my concrete mix, but in the small path I'm working on I wanted the path to naturalize with the surroundings.Using the buff color gave me the color I was looking for. All you do is mix a pound of color to an 80 lb bag of concrete mix. mix with water to the consistency desired pour and finish with trowel, your done with your customized colored concrete.
