Liquid or Powdered PigmentsAs with integrally colored concrete flatwork, you can blend powdered or liquid pigments into the concrete mix to achieve a nearly unlimited palette of colors. This will give you more flexibility than going with a pre-pigmented countertop mix and permit custom color matching. Some pigments are blended specifically for use with concrete countertop mixes to ensure rich color saturation. Buying tips: The type of pigment to use (liquid or dry) is often personal preference. For example, Lloyd prefers to use liquid pigments because they are easier to measure out in small quantities. He also finds that liquid pigments are a convenient way to color match the grout used to fill the seams between adjacent countertop sections. However, if you do use liquid pigments, you must account for the amount of water in the pigment when measuring out the mix water for the concrete, cautions Girard.
