Colors for your Curbing Click here for a .pdf of our color chart.

Base color sample:

The base-color of cement determines color range. Like all natural materials, variation is normal in concrete. These are simulations of concrete made with reference Type II gray cement, light tan sand and water to achieve 4" slump. Actual job-site results may differ.

Cutting Edge uses Davis Colors, the standard for concrete colors. Through years of experience Cutting Edge has selected the top 16 colors which will turn out the best for your curbing project. These colors include the most expensive color mixes but as always the color is included in our competitive pricing. The colors selected are 1 lb, 1.5 lb, 2 lb, 3 lb, & 4 lb colors. Our color selection insures that your project will turn out as expected.

These digital reproductions are just for ideas. If you choose a color based on this screen or how your printer prints the color chart, you may be in for a big surprise. Please finalize your selection from our printed color card. The color card is a printed piece and there will be a variation in your finished product.

Different cements, sand, rock, mixing and jobsite conditions could alter the finished color. Cutting Edge is consistent and uniform in our methods however, there will be variations which is normal.

It takes approximately 30 days for all the water to evaporate out of the curb and to show the final consistent color. Until then, the curb may look blotchy due to moisture and dew levels in the air.*

Please note: Water must be kept away from curb for at least 48 hours (72 hours is better) in order to allow curb to cure properly. Premature exposure to water will permanently discolor your curb. If exposed to water prior to initial 72 hour curing stage your curb will appear blotchy and you risk the appearance of efflorescence on your curb. This discoloration is permanent and is not covered under warranty.

It is important to remember that the color you see on the monitor is a close representation of the color, but not an exact representation of the color as monitors differ from one computer to another. Like all natural materials, variation is normal in the actual concrete whether colored or not.

These digital reproductions are just for ideas. If you choose a color based on this screen, you may be in for a big surprise. Please finalize your selection from our printed color card. Please also remember that the color card is a printed piece and the actual color in the finished product will have a slight variation.

* Remember to keep sprinklers and drip emitters off 2 days prior to installation and at least 2 days after installation (3 days is better) to allow the concrete to cure naturally and dry to a consistent color. If your curbing gets wet or is in contact with high levels of moisture prior to curing you will get very dark and/or very light areas throughout the project.
