    Making Pavers for Sidewalks. What About Different Colorants to Use?
    Hi, All!

    Would like to make my own pavers for around my yard. Forms and concrete aren't a problem. Already have one plastic form for rectangular ones. Can make any other forms that I might need or want.

    But, what about the colorants to use? The ones available seem to be really expensive, especially if a person is going to make a lot of bricks.

    Traditional red is fine. Would like to maybe experiment with other colors.

    Would just using a high quality latex paint be okay to use as a colorant? Would seem to be a lot less expensive if doing that.

    Thanks!
