All of our concrete (sidewalks, patios, driveways) are a sand color, however we do have a house that it is all white. 

 

When it's being poured (wet) it looks like a grayish putty color, but dries to a white or sandy beige.

 

I've seen gray concrete before.

 

Abbey--too much of the same color.   (Pots, lion and your concrete itself)  IMO.

 

What color is the outside of the house?

 

I would paint the lion RED!  And then I'd make sure to plant RED geraniums or RED impatients or something RED.

 

If red clashes with your home's colors, take a color from the peacock feather--PURPLE!  Paint the lion PURPLE.  And plant PURPLE petunias.

 

Keep everything else concrete color.

 

The lion told me it does NOT want to be gray.  Blah.Woman Tongue

Maybe just live with it for awhile.  Sometimes things start to blend in with their surroundings.

Not all concrete is gray. Our sidewalk and driveway are a sand color. They pour the cement with sandstone in it and then they hose it off leaving the stones slightly exposed. The result is very nice and we love it!

@Lorik62 I never said ALL concrete is grey - I said all untreated concrete is grey. Your concrete is treated to be a different color.
