Buff is one of the most common ready-mix concrete colours in the brown / beige hues.
Buff is so common, that it is the main beige / light brown color offered by DIY concrete brands are big box stores. When used in combination with other topical colors and stamped patterns, buff is by far one of the best options to help create a natural stone aesthetic that resembles travertines, sandstones, and other similar stone types.
By adding either slightly lighter accents or slightly darker greys as a topical colour over top of a buff coloured concrete slab with a stamped pattern, a very natural look appears.
Integral Ready Mix Concrete is superior to topical coatings because it is mixed evenly and completely throughout the concrete prior to it being poured.

This helps protect the overall look of the concrete even if damage or chips occur over time.
