Custom Color

Tired of the boring 20-30 concrete color charts? At Blueconcrete, we have the capability to Custom Blend Pigment to make any concrete color. From Earth Tones, Any Blue / Green Concrete, Bright Extreme Colors, Pure White, Jet Absolute Black, Fire Engine Red - you name it. Just get us a Benjamin Moore color code and how much concrete you are pouring. Simply add our Custom Pigment Pack to your batch of Concrete. Any Competitive Color can also be matched. Each percentage of each color of a blend makes up a loading rate for each custom blend.  The loading rate would be the percentage of color you would use for a batch of concrete. The pigment only sticks to the binder in your concrete batch, therefore, calculating the amount of custom color you would need would be based on the custom color loading rate X the amount of cementitous binder only, not the total amount of your concrete batch.
 

Custom Blends are blended and homonginized here and sent to you with the loading rate posted on the label for batch measuring.

Once a Benjamin Moore color has been selected, color batches should be calculated in the following measures
  • Determine the amount of total cementitious binder in your mix.  This would include Portland, VCAS, Metokaolin, Slag, Qwix, Silica Fume, and Fly Ash.
  • Multiply the amount of cementitious binder X the loading rate of the custom blend = total pounds of color needed for batch.
This amount should be rounded up to the next pound.
 
A quick color check procedure:
 
  • 22.5 grams Federal White Portland
  • 2.5 grams of Super Sealz
  • 75 grams of sand
  • 2 grams of LZ Plus
  • 11 grams of water
  1. Add two grams of water to 75 grams of sand to wet the sand.
  2. Multiply loading rate x TCB, 25 grams in this case.
  3. Add pigment and mix thoroughly.
  4. Add remaining 22.5 grams of portland.
  5. Add 2.5 grams of Super Sealz.
  6. Add remaining 9 grams of water and mix thoroughly.
