Cumin Concrete Stain: Project Gallery

Mar 19, 2026 Justin Richardson

Cumin is a warm golden-ochre — the color that makes stamped concrete read like natural sandstone. It shows up most often on patios, pool decks, and walkways, usually as Antiquing™ over a stamped or broomed surface, and it blends beautifully with Driftwood, Terracotta, and Cafe Royale.

Available in: Antiquing™ · Portico™ · EasyTint™ · AcquaTint™ · Vibrance™ Dye

Note on results: every photo here is a real customer project in Cumin. Our stains are semi-transparent, so the starting color and condition of your concrete shape the final look — always test a small area first. (The written project details attached to this gallery in our old blog belonged to other customers' acid-stain projects, so we have left them off rather than repeat them here.)

Stamped patios in Cumin

On stamped concrete, Cumin settles into the pattern and pulls out the texture — warm and golden without going orange.

Pool decks & walkways

Cumin is a natural fit poolside, where a warm sandstone tone beats gray concrete — often blended with Driftwood or Terracotta for extra depth.

Cumin works on vertical and cast surfaces too — here bringing a plain wall fountain to life.

Blended with Cafe Royale & Chocolate

Layered with warmer browns, Cumin becomes the light tone in a multi-color hardscape — the approach a lot of contractors use to make new concrete look aged.
