Solomon Colors’ Mortar Colors

Since the mortar joint makes up about 20 percent of a brick structure’s surface area, coloring the mortar enhances the building’s appearance. Solomon Colors’ Mortar Colors are available in unique, pre-weighed and pre-measured amounts to assure accurate color consistency. The A, H, and X series offer 60 standard colors pre-measured for use in mortar and other mixes. Solomon has set the standard for decades as the most consistent and most frequently specified mortar colors in United States. The company’s consistent coloring and depth of color choices enhance the beauty and value of brick, stone, and colored concrete block. See all of Solomon’s mortar colors on Autodesk Seek.
