Stucco color to match brownstone

You could try California Stucco Co. http://californiastucco.net/color/ or if you have a good mason that knows how to blend color pigments you could try Rainbow Cement colors http://www.umaco.com/sites/umaco.com/files/pdf/data/Rainbow%20Cement%20Colors%202016.pdf. Another good company that is in Brooklyn has a great selection of colored mortar cements products is Kings…https://kingsny.com/cementcolors-lehigh/
Over the past 10 years we have matched over 20 different brownstone colors when clients wanted to do repairs versus full brownstone remediation. The key to getting the color as close as possible is to make lots of sample mixes using different percentages of pigments in each mix and then waiting for up to 28 days to let the samples cure fully to get a accurate color match. Another trick is to use white portland cement as your base because regular portland cement can vary in different shades right out of the bag and cause color variation in the sample making process

I’ve had a masonry team clean up the area under my stoop including filling holes, smoothing walls and leveling the lines under the stairs. I will be stuccoing the walls (rather than doing a true brownstone finish) due to cost constraints but am having a hard time finding a good color match for the brownstone finish which is on the exterior walls of the stoop itself. Can someone who’s done this recommend one? Thanks!

there’s no standard brownstone color. you might be better off painting the stucco rather than trying to find a stucco itself to match.
