Floating dyes on Arapido cement

A river of colors

The new Arapido cement surface has a dye process executed using blue first followed by yellow,  then red, and finally black.....

The following day, torn cardboard strip protects the surface, and then another layer of integrally colored Arapido cement sprayed either side.

Beautiful natural colors

Using sawdust resist to manipulate and protect the primary colors during the process creating a mysterious depth.


It was critical to avoid contaminating the blue areas during the process, as we all know any yellow would have turned it to green.

The different color layers suggest depth, which is further enhanced by the color gradients in the individual layers.
