I've never seen concrete the color of sand, only grey, lol. I guess the color is a regional thing.

Hello bold print is fine with me as I can see it better and you know me somewhat to know I am really bothered by the gray..........when she sent me pictures as she was painting it it was a concrete color of sand.........and light beige whatever someone calls it but you know concrete pots are the color of a beige sandy beach anyway it is gray really gray and it is the only thing out there gray as all else is either the peacock blue in my wreath and birthbath is glass with peacock feathers painted on and then the concete pots and then the big gray lion............he sticks out and he is beautiful and I do need to glue him to the heavy concrete base but he is so gray............I wanted him placed at the walkway into my porch but they thought he was too big.  So he is sitting at the end of my area to place things and he is bold and beautiful but gray. lol

@DowntonAbbey  I understand what you're saying about the color.  I think I can even picture it in my mind.  He is just a darker color of grey.....not the real color of concrete.  He probably looks a little like wet cement.  I'll just come over and help you pick the paint to make him match because I'm sure it would bother me too if I saw it!  Cat LOL

Concrete IS sand!  It is sand color unless color is added.  

 

However, sand can vary in color.  Concrete sand is dug up it is not beach sand!

Like others have mentioned, I've only seen concrete sidewalks in the color of gray.  I've seen concrete custom blended colors poured for landscape edging, around pool areas, etc., but sidewalks and concrete roads always gray.  Our patio was a poured, stamped concrete and we had a color choice of cement.  Paint your lion to coordinate with the pots, etc.  I'm sure it will look great.

 

A happy lion is a sand colored lion...hear him roar @DowntonAbbey!

Concrete is ground up limestone - it has sand in it as a binder but the actual material is limestone and untreated concrete is GREY.

@DowntonAbbey I don't know too much about the different phones. I have an LG. Can you email from your phone? Do you have a camera? If so, then take a picture, send it to your email address, open it in your email, save it to your pictures in your computer.  Then you can access your pictures when you post a comment and have the picture inserted using the third tab from the right on the top line. It's easy after you do it a couple of times.
