Colored Mortar
The SPEC MIX® Color Canister System is the perfect way to make colored mortar for any size project and application. From building an interior brick fireplace to pointing the joints around stone veneer units, SPEC MIX Color Canisters allow you to consistently make gray mortar to match the color of your choice. Just pick a color from the SPEC MIX Colored Mortar Channel Kit, then using a jobsite mixer add 1 color canister of the selected pigment to 1 SPEC MIX 80 lb (36.2 kg) bag of gray mortar type M, S or N. and let the materials mix for 5 minutes. Simply follow the “1 Can to 1 Bag” for every batch for total color uniformity every time.
SPEC MIX Color Canisters contain synthetic iron oxide pigments specifically weighed to ensure colored mortar uniformity and consistency when mixed with an 80 lb (36.2 kg) bag of SPEC MIX Masonry Mortars. Each color container is formulated to closely match the representative color in the SPEC MIX Colored Mortar display kit.

Coloring masonry mortar accurately and uniformly is best achieved by using computer batching systems that dry and preblend all mortar constituents and pigments in a controlled environment. For over 25 years the SPEC MIX organization has utilized this technological process for producing our standard and custom colored mortars and we continue to perfect the system. SPEC MIX Colored Mortar uniformity starts with high quality stable pigments that are pre-weighed to ensure the colorant loading meets each specific formulation.
Color Palette
* The sample colors shown in color charts or channel kits are provided to demonstrate the colors available. THE SAMPLE COLORS ARE ONLY APPROXIMATE. Variation in color, shades of color, texture, and aggregate exposure is inherent in all masonry mortars and exact matches cannot be guaranteed. Actual shade and texture will depend on job site conditions, lighting, mixing and installation techniques and types of masonry units used, and may vary from color charts or color channel kits. It is recommended that a sample panel is constructed using all representative materials and allowed to fully cure. The panel should be washed and approved prior to construction.
