The four example blends have some commonly found inclusions added to more closely match some typical historic mortar joints. These are included as examples of how you could use the stock colors to produce hundreds of new shades and to produce one specific to each of your various applications. The 4 custom blends have the inclusions and aggregates slightly exposed to duplicate a weathered surface in order to demonstrate how you can tweak the final appearance of a mortar to make it an indistinguishable match such as for patch pointing applications on historic buildings.

You can hold one or more of these strips up to the original mortar on a building to ascertain which stock color or blend may be a match.


Ecologic™ Mortar colors come from earth tone shades which have been observed in historic applications and then developed into "just add water" mortar mixes that simulate these shades. They have been developed over a 25 year period and simulate the majority of the mortar colors found on vintage buildings throughout the United States.

You can add local aggregates from your region in various degrees, up to 2 Lbs per 38.5 Lb bag o
f Ecologic™ Mortar in order to more closely simulate the color and texture of the building's original mortar joints when the new joints are properly tooled. Please call for advice or if you need service regarding where to mail samples for mortar analysis in order to have a custom mortar duplicated or to design a mix if one of our stock colors or blends will not suffice.

Disclaimer: Many factors affect how this image may appear on your computer monitor and how it prints on your printer. It is suggested that you purchase the Ecologic™ Mortar kit so that you may view each strip individually or hold one or more of these channels of dried mortar up to a building to determine a match when planning to duplicate a repointing mortar.
