You can order dyed concrete. Don't pour non-colored concrete and then try to color it, the color won't hold up long term and you'll have to re-color it. Around here they charge an extra $50.00 per truck for the extra washing out that the barrel requires before standard colored concrete can be hauled. I forget what the color upcharge is.

I forgot, they also have inserts for concrete forms so the poured walls look like rock or other patterns. I saw a driveway on Cornado Island near San Diego that was 3 or 4 different colors. The "fieldstone rocks" were colored different colors, and the lines between them was standard concrete color, then everything was sealed. It looked great, but I'll bet it was expensive to do that coloring job. That probably was regular concrete that was colored after it was poured in place.
