Does coloured concrete pricing vary between integral colour and surface-applied colour?

Yes, genuinely — integral colour (mixed through the whole batch) and surface-applied colour (like a dry-shake hardener or stain) involve different materials and labour, so pricing between the two approaches isn’t identical.

Your contractor can quote both options so you can genuinely compare cost against the look and durability trade-offs of each.
