concrete, mortar, stucco, and grout. Portlant cement base color is gray or white and it is commonly sold in in 94 lbs. bags. Concrete pigment color charts vary depending on the base color used. If you mix the pigment powder with gray Portland cement based materials you get
one set of colors but of you mix the same pigment powder amount and color with white Portalnd cement based materials you get a different set of
colors.
