Colour in Concrete: Moving Beyond Grey

Concrete and grey have always gone hand in hand, and for good reason. A beautifully finished grey surface is timeless, versatile, and works in almost any setting, from modern kitchens to coastal bathrooms. At Edje Concrete, we love when we get to create pieces in classic grey tones.

But concrete doesn’t have to stop there. Today, colour has become an exciting part of design, allowing concrete to be bold, warm, or playful while still retaining all the durability and texture it’s known for.

Why Colour Matters in Design

Colour sets the tone of a space. A soft neutral vanity creates calm and warmth, while a deep charcoal island becomes a strong focal point. Earthy greens or sandy tones can bring a sense of nature indoors, while lighter shades keep small spaces feeling open.

Adding colour to concrete means it can seamlessly align with cabinetry, tiles, or architectural palettes, opening up a world of creative opportunities.

How We Create Colour in Concrete

Our colours are integrated directly into the concrete mix using high-quality pigments and carefully selected aggregates. That means:

• The colour runs through the piece - it won’t chip or peel like a surface finish.

• Every item is handcrafted, so natural variation makes each one unique.

• Different finishes (trowel, polished, terrazzo) highlight colour in their own way.

The result is a surface that feels rich, tactile, and built to last.
