The Most Popular Concrete Color: Brown

One of the biggest decisions our customer faces is color selection. It’s easy to get overwhelmed by all those colors on the color chart.

Narrowing your selection to three colors that are present in your home's exterior is the best place to start. For example, look at the colors in your brick or stones, trim, shingles, etc.

Of all the colors that most of our customer choose, brown seems to be the favorite. If you take a look at our photo gallery you find that brown is most common. It may be different shades, but it is usually in that brown family. 

Brown is a popular color because:

  1. Natural: Brown is an earth-tone. It is organic and feels more natural.  Concrete feels more like stone or rock, which gives it an earthy, more natural texture. You can enhance that natural feeling by giving concrete a layered texture by adding multiply colors.

  2. Warmth: Brown is a neutral color that creates a warm-tone. Being neutral color, brown can be very versatile. It can make a room feel very rich and elegant. It complements colorful furniture, artwork or accents. Designers like to use brown because it visually adds depth to a floor.

  3. Hides Dirt: Brown hides dirt, dust, etc. very well. Concrete floors are easy to maintain and clean. Using brown will camouflage dirt so you do not see it right away.
