I would like to get a few opinions on the colour of my mortar.
When the brickies were laying the bricks, I noticed that they were using an orange coloured sand. I rang the SS straight away to inform him of this. He assured me that they use orange sand with an off-white cement to acheive the look. He then told me that the colour of the mortar can vary depending on the colour of the sand from the quarry and that it would lighten up as it dried.
It's now been 2 weeks since the bricks were done and it still looks nothing like off-white.
