Price and durability depend on the coloring method used:

Option 1 - Dye added to concrete mix at the plant. Integral color hides chipping but is not commonly done due to high cost.

Option 2 - Dye powder sprinkled onto concrete at finish stage and troweled in by concrete installer. Color is slightly below the surface, so minor chipping is hidden, more economical than option 1.

Option 3 - Color dye applied to the surface of the concrete after it has dried completely. Good for remodeling as well as new construction, unlimited palette, pattern, and price.

Option 4 - Color pigment applied to surface in a densifer or treatment. This is a UV stable product.
