"Cement" colored paint

[ezdays]

Unfortunately I'm out of "sand" colored paint at the moment so will attempt to use what I have . Pete , I've got three or four different areas to paint and , I agree , it would look best if I had some variation like you mentioned .

I'd start off with white, add some black a drop or two at a time until you have a very light gray. Add a few drops of yellow and/or even a little bit of green or brown to get the tone you want. Remember, there is yellow in both green and brown. The thing is that for any color you add, a little goes a long way. Do a small batch at first so you can add more white if you start getting things out of whack. And like Pete is saying, take you sample outside and compare it with what you're trying to match. If you look at a concrete retaining wall, you can even see the difference between pours sometimes so there's no magic "exact" color to shoot for.
