Concrete stain colors are not like choosing working with paint. When you pick a pant color chip and paint your wall you get exactly what you chose.

When working with stain and dyes on a concrete surface you get varying shades of your chosen color.

For example- the color amber above produces vibrant shades on a white concrete surface vs. a gray surface. The results are similar but depend on your original canvas.

If you are applying on existing concrete, your final result likely will not match exactly like on the color chart. Expect some variation and you will not be disappointed. Stains create a lot of color fluctuation. Your floor will have high spots and low spots. Stain will pool in low spots and become darker than high spots.

Stains are applied with a garden style pump sprayer. As pressure in your pump decreases  less stain is applied. This process created along with natural inconsistancies in your concrete create variation through out your floor. Variation is the beauty of concrete stain.
