Decorative Concrete Stains

Decorative Concrete Stains, Dyes & Color

Turn a plain slab into a beautiful, colorful floor. We carry Smith's decorative concrete color products — water-based stains, penetrating dyes, and integral pigments that deliver vibrant, natural color on decorative and polished concrete. Whatever look you're after, we have the color system to get you there — and the expertise to help. Call and talk to a real surface-prep expert, not a call center.

Ways to Color Concrete

Different projects call for different color methods — and we carry all three:

Smith's Color Floor — a water-based decorative stain in three series (Classic, Old World, Bright Light); interior/exterior, natural variegated color
Smith's Liquid Dye — a concentrated penetrating dye for polished concrete and dye-and-seal; 13 colors, interior
Smith's Dry Pigment Packs — pre-measured integral pigments to color overlays and resurfacers from within; 16 colors

Stain, Dye, or Pigment — Which Do You Need?

Stain (Color Floor) — color that sits in and on the surface for a natural, variegated, artistic look; interior and exterior
Dye (Liquid Dye) — penetrates deeply for rich, uniform color; ideal for polished concrete; interior only
Integral Pigment (Dry Pigment Packs) — mixed into an overlay or resurfacer so the color runs all the way through

Not sure which fits your project? Call us and we'll help you choose.

A Safer Alternative to Acid Staining

Smith's water-based stains and dyes are a safe, user-friendly alternative to harsh acid stains — no neutralization, no hazardous cleanup, and vibrant, lasting color that's easier to apply. And they're part of a complete Smith's system: prep, color, densify, and seal.

Complete the System

Prep — Green Clean Pro or CT-8
Color — Color Floor, Liquid Dye, or Dry Pigment Packs
