But can you tell me more about it?
Usually where can I find it?Is it I need to buy the dye only or the cement shop already mix it into the cement?

You need to contact a supplier/manufacturer such as Elementis or Bayer. They will give you the technical information you need.

Ask for an iron oxide. The pigement last longer than natural pigments.
