How to Choose Stamped Concrete Colors

Color does as much as pattern to make a stamped surface look special. These tips help you find a palette that works.

Look Around the Property

The color should work with the siding, roof, trim and landscape. Warm earth tones suit many Colorado homes, and cool grays work with modern ones.

Take photos of the house and yard to compare with samples.

Depth Comes From Layers

A single flat color can look plain. Using a base color and a darker release brings out the pattern and gives each stone depth.

A border in a contrasting shade frames the field.

Heat and Fading

Darker colors absorb more heat, and lighter ones stay cooler. Sun fades color over time, and sealing helps protect it.

Samples in your own light show what the color will really look like.
