Blue Concrete is not out of reach for a concrete producer or homeowner to make. While it is a bit more expensive, it is not cost prohibitive.
Far too many Concrete projects over the past 25 years have NOT been colored Blue because the source of the Cobalt Blue Pigment was way overpriced by pigment suppliers.
Phone any concrete producer around the country and ask for Blue colored Concrete. The vast majority will either talk you out of it or will price it to be so expensive, you'll change your mind and have Brown or Beige or Tan colored concrete. Well, those days are over. We can help with our Cobalt Blue Pigment.
Blue Concrete can be made into a very diverse range of designer Blue shades.
More and more Concrete Pavingstone Manufacturers are now making BlueStone colored concrete pavers, retaining walls and steps.
Look at all the paint companies range of exterior paint colors for exterior projects. Sherwin Williams, Benjamin Moore etc. Most of the color palettes will have some shade of Blue. Concrete for a walkway, driveway, back patio, even streetscape can contain shades of Blue Concrete.
Cobalt Blue Pigment, when used alone, is a nice color, but often far too bright for most designers, architects and homeowners. That's why we have hundreds of formulas which blend Cobalt Blue pigment with various Iron Oxides and other pigments to both shift the color to more neutral shades like BlueStone, AND also reduce the premium to color the concrete.
Here are two examples adding Black or Brown Pigment to shade the Cobalt Blue.
Teal Shift
Purple Shift
A 60 or 80 LB bag of Concrete Mix can be tinted with as little as 1/2 LB of all these Cobalt Blue Pigments.
Or add 1 Part of Black, Brown or Buff to 4 Parts of any of the Cobalt Blue Pigments to create a natural range of Bluestone shades.
Many more examples of various shades of Blue Concrete are possible and affordable.
