Jo-Anne came to our job site this morning to evaluate the colored concrete alternatives. 

On Monday, 11/16/09, we poured two samples of colored concrete – Baja Red and Harvest Gold.  Bill Brown explained that, as the concrete cures, it will lighten thus it was good for a few days to go by before evaluating the samples.

We both preferred the Harvest Gold.

(The name ‘Harvest Gold’ reminds us of the appliance colors that General Electric introduced in the late 1960s, ‘Harvest Gold’ and ‘Avacado Green.’  (We’re hoping that the Harvest Gold concrete will be more timeless than the appliances.)
