at UV stability and wear - meaning stains may be used for interior or exterior surfaces. Integral color is added into the concrete mixture itself. It provides fade-resistant color that may be layered, giving it the look of natural stone. Dry-shake color hardeners are powders that are added to fresh concrete. This method colors the top layer only, but with richer, more vibrant hues. They are made out of mineral aggregates, which harden the surface and makes it more wear- and water-resistant than concrete alone. Concrete dyes are used for the boldest colors and more complex patterns. Dye colors are more predictable than stains and may be polished. Dyes are best for inside applications, as fading may occur with direct sunlight. How do I choose?
