Building with it

Light Gray Concrete Powder is the easiest grey to make in bulk, since an azure bluet, an oxeye daisy or a white tulip each give a dye. The powder itself falls and is quick to break with a shovel, which is why builders shape a wall in powder first and only add water when the shape is right.

In practice

Concrete powder turns to concrete the moment it touches water, and light gray is the shade that reads as poured concrete rather than as paint. Four sand, four gravel and one dye give eight powder, which makes it far cheaper per block than terracotta of the same colour.
