Mix up a few small test batches, measuring accurately and taking careful
note of the proportions you use. You won't see the true colour until the
concrete has set, so you need to try a few different mixes. When you have
the colour you want, dry mix enough cement and colour to do everything you
want to do and make sure that you mix it very well. Now put the mix back
into the cement bag(s) and store it somewhere dry, taking out only enough

to
make up each batch as you need it. No matter how careful you are, you will
never get exactly the same colour twice if you mix the colour into
individual batches, but this way you have a fighting chance that the

cement
you use on the last day will be much the same colour as the stuff you used
on the first day.


Thanks for that.
