Color is often used functionally across many design elements; this can also be done with concrete by simply dosing standard concrete mix designs with pigment. Using pigment, concrete can be transformed from a plain, common material into a beautiful, sustainable, and enduring building element. Adding pigments to concrete elevates a project's quality and impact. This course presents basic knowledge of how concrete pigments are manufactured and how they are measured and dispensed to produce the desired color hue and intensity capable of elevating a project to the next level.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Demonstrate a basic understanding of what iron oxide is and how it is produced and manufactured into pigments used to integrally color concrete building elements.
  • Analyze why designing with colored concrete improves the physical and emotional well-being of those who use the site or structure, including the safety benefits of traffic management and site demarcation.
  • Discuss how colored concrete is an important aspect of a sustainable design strategy while producing a beautiful and impactful decorative site.
  • Discuss best practices when specifying colored concrete to ensure that project design goals will be achieved.
