Colorant Recommendation Chart
Whether it’s concrete stain, dye, or tinted concrete sealer, you can find the best concrete colorant for your project with our handy chart!
Once you’ve determined the finish of your particular concrete surface, locate the column for that finish on the right side of the chart.
The colorants marked as ‘BEST’ in that column will be absolutely ideal for your concrete finish! ‘BETTER’ and ‘GOOD’ mean that these products are also suitable. Grayed-out boxes signify that that product is not recommended for your surface. Note whether each product is indicated as ideal for interior use, exterior use, or both in the middle columns.
Click on the Product Name in the leftmost column to go to that product page. That’s it!
