Can anyone please suggest a good Colour for Concrete ?
Either a house hold acrylic paint from the likes of B&Q etc ?
Or one that the usual paint manufacturers likes of  Vallejo or AK ?
As I need to do Concrete barriers and Tank traps etc, I would love to get it right ?
Many thanks

A bog standard mid grey with paler drybrushing and a touch of green should do the trick. It depends on the mix and the environment.
Some K rails etc were painted with red/white warning markers...
I mix artists acrylics in a 2:1 or 3:1 mix of white and black with a touch of brown and green

The colour varies depending on the mix of the concrete, I believe. Also concrete can change colour with age. I would say anything from ivory to dark grey would be appropriate. If you want inspiration just take a walk around Southampton.
