By incorporating light cement, we are able to create many new colors for different design statements ranging from nature-inspired to contemporary.
COLOR - SAND MIXES
The distinctive finished look of our concrete begins with the components within: cement, sand, aggregate and pigment. The elements that make up the background color are white or gray cement combined with the highest-quality mineral oxide pigments.
The next level of color emerges through variations in the sand and aggregate used in the mix. Subtle nuances of color and our unique "visual texture" are achieved through our three signature sand mixes: a white "Dolo," light-tan "Oly" and dark "River Sand." The lighter mixes create bright, saturated colors, while the darker River Sand mix produces earthy, muted tones.
Our range of Standard and Premium colors reflects our unique eye for matching sand mixes to pigment in order to enhance and optimize the finished color. For example, "Sky Blue" packs a punch by using the "Dolo" white sand mix. In contrast, our River Sand mix lends "Bamboo" its earthy tones and "Plum" concrete its rich, sensual shades.
We frequently collaborate with our clients and designers in selecting or innovating color formulas to realize their desired aesthetic. Customers may request specific sand mixes to vary the shade and/or textural display of their concrete. With the additional service of custom color matching, a virtually unlimited color palette is possible.
