I know that the dark brown color will make the garage darker than it

I checked at HD and Lowe's for a dark brown epoxy garage floor coating with

I've had epoxy garage floors since 1974. Some commercial, others home
based. Sears, Glidden, other two part systems are good. What I found
was that adding sand, sprinkles or other cosmetics shortened the life
of traffic areas dramatically. The nice smooth un-gooped epoxy paint
will last for years and look good, besides being far easier to keep
clean. Cosmetics, or practicality, you make the call.
