What Customers Are Saying
The cement color mix product is generally effective at coloring concrete, mortar, and other cement-based materials. Many customers reported achieving their desired color, such as a rich terracotta or charcoal shade. The product was praised for its ease of use, as it can simply be mixed into the cement or water before application. However, some customers noted that the color can be inconsistent or fade over time, and that it can be tricky to get the right amount mixed in. Overall, the product seems to work well for small projects, but may require some experimentation to get the right color and coverage for larger jobs.

Does the job
Would RecommendWorked as i expected, no issues.
Horrible
Would Not RecommendI have worked with coIoring concrete enough and know what I am doing. I agree with Casie this produces a very poor charcoal look. I used 1 bottle, rinsed them clean to get all of the coloring, per 60lb bag and the color is so off I wish I would have listened to the poor reviews. If you need to color your concrete use Direct Colors online. A bit more expensive but you know what you are getting.There colors are true and mix in well.
Not the color I wanted.
Would Not RecommendThe color was not what I thought it would be. I wanted a brown/buff color like the photo on the bottle. But the color was actually an orangey color.
mixology
Would RecommendI like that it helps to darken the red color.

More RED than buff
Would Not RecommendThe color was supposed to be “buff”, which should be beige/brown. Ours was very red. We added a lot to a sample of mortar, and it ended up a pink/salmon color. Be careful with this product. We had better results with a powder product.
Pleasing brown color
Would RecommendThe brown dye gave a nice even brown color to the concrete. It was easy to use. This product must be ordered online. It is not carried by the retail store. I found when using dye I have to let the concrete mix a little longer than normal to assure the color is fully distributed.
Meh

NOT CHARCOAL
Would Not RecommendI never leave reviews, but if you are looking for a dark gray mortar, this is NOT it. Our mason mixed this a little heavier than the directions (meaning a whole contained of dye in a little less mortar) because we wanted to be sure it would end up dark. After it dried, it is the same color as regular cement. I am posting pictures that show my beautiful stone wall before and after the mortar. I am SO disappointed. On the second picture, you can see down around the hearth isn’t dry so it looks dar...
