Sante Fe Tan ready mix concrete colouring is a perfect option if you are looking for a rose/red colour and don't want it to be too bold.
Don't get me wrong, this is still a bold colour choice for our concrete but it depends on the application. On it's own, as a textured curb or garden separation with lush vegetation it can be an amazing accent colour. Pouring a mowing curb around a well to do rose bush or even pairing up against lilac bushes can be an amazing finishing touch.
Richer colours in concrete, especially red colours that are not very naturally common in Calgary can be daring, but remember that you can always tone them down by adding antiquing or accent colours on top.
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 means that if there is a crack or cut to the concrete over time, that the natural concrete colour does not show through.
This helps protect the overall look of the concrete even if damage or chips occur over time.
