On a splatter you can also darken the main color with your highlights. Again highlighting with charcoal, chocolate or black will give it a deeper red look. Hope this helps. Elite Crete Ft.

The terra cotta is too pink and the brick red is too brown. I even added charcoal. How do you think the color was acheived on the pic on back of splatter brochure?

I had an older bottle or brick red that clumped-up in the bottom of the bottle and I used it for one bag of thin finish and I used a newer bottler of brick red for another bag of thin finish. I had two completely different colors of red in the two buckets. Andy Franklin - Bryan, Ohio SupremeCrete Decorative Concrete, Inc. On Facebook On Twitter myconcretemakover.com www.supremecrete.com

Gives them something to do and only cost you a few bucks for those vibrant colors we all love! Dennis Central Iowa Elitecrete Systems
