The following colors represent a nice cross
section of what Cast In Stone Creations can offer. However, the real limitation on color choices comes from your
imagination. By combining colorants your
choices are practically limitless. Do keep in mind that variations in colors
may occur due to your screen resolution and other factors.
Patinaetch, by Smart Surface Technology, Inc. is a concrete acid
stain producing natural variegated earth tones when applied to concrete,
similar to the oxidation of a copper roof, or the patina of a bronzed
sculpture. These acid stains react with the free lime in the cement matrix,
highlighting irregularities on the surface rather than covering them up, as in
the case of paint. The variegations are not defects, but the reason for
selecting this method of coloring.

Redi-Tone concrete stains, by Southern Color
N.A., Inc, form a chemical reaction with minerals in concrete or other
cementitious products. Made of acid solutions, wetting agents and metallic
chlorides, the stain, when in contact with cement, forms oxides of rich,
varying hues and tones. Because the
stain colors result from a chemical reaction with the minerals in the concrete
the stains will not chip, fade, peel or crack.
