Concrete Patio Extension Color?

Christina Bianchino

last year

We are adding on to our existing 10 year old patio of the home we purchased. We know we won’t have a perfect match in color but does anyone have a recommendation on a complimentary or close color to the pic below? The extension will be about 350 sq ft for a dining area.

Rather than trying to find something close, you could consider a different texture where a different color would be okay. Like stamped concrete, or pavers, or flagstone.

Agreed. We are going for stamped concrete due to costs. Any suggestions on color that would go well with it? The color guides we have gotten are so hard to gauge on paper!

It looks like you already have a flagstone patio in the background. Pick a color from that. Not dark though...too hot.

Based upon what I’ve seen stamped concrete doesn’t ”age” well where I live ( So Cal ). perhaps it does better in whatever climate you live.

Sandstone or a pale Terra Cotta are nice.
