worked ok. not as dark as i wanted, but the right color. a bit on the high side for cost i think, but i couldn't find any local places that had it in stock.
Above is right. To reduce cost, put down a base layer of uncoloured concrete and a top layer of about an inch of coloured concrete. Put
2nd layer on straight away, don't leave bottom layer to set.
that's really hard to do with countertops. they're formed face down.
What are you trying to make, powderd colors are usualy sold at the ready mix company, ive used it alot to match different mortars. I depends on what you are doing , if you are matching or making something

OK put the coloured layer down first in that case.
