exterior filler colour..

[James]

Why is ready mixed filler always white?

I have a hole in an exterior brick to fill, not very big but in a noticeable area. My bricks are sandy coloured. Is there any ready mixed filler that is not white that you can buy? I guess I could use cement but I don't want the mess or hassle.

Thanks,

James

You can buy cement colourant. Have you any bricks of that colour lying about. If you crush up part of one with a club hammer it may be the perfect match ( depending on whether it's the same colour all the way through ).
