    This is a specialist 30 mm shuttered pigmented concrete applied onto a blockwork chimney stack by Darkroom Architecture

    Can you tell me about this process and color for the pigment?

    The chimney stack/wall is shuttered and then backfilled with concrete. The concrete is mixed in batches and by altering the pigment you can control the colour/tone. By altering the compaction of the concrete you can achieve the pitting/texture.

    I love the pigmentation of the fireplace and the rough look at the boundaries and trying to do the same thing at my house with smooth stucco...could you please provide what pigmentation/color you used to achieve this color?
