Got the color match just right on a repair job

Honestly, mixing patching compound to match old concrete is tough. Tbh, I added a bit of gray pigment and it blended in really well. Ngl, the client was thrilled. What's your go-to method for color matching? Any products you swear by?

Ugh, my first tries always look like abstract art!

Wait, abstract art? That implies some kind of plan or style. My first tries are pure chaos with no thought behind them. They look like a toddler got into the supplies. I can't believe you see any art in it at all. Maybe you're being too hard on yourself or too kind. Either way, it's shocking to hear.

Mixing that stuff always looks like abstract art before it sets... @avery_torres49 gets it. Half my early mixes look like a weird modern painting.
