What color workshop floor would you do?

[Leviblue]

Light gray or a tan, not speckled. I've lost too many small parts on mine.
Does the seal coat have any slip resistant material? Some coatings get slick when any moisture is on them.

 

[red]

No slip resistant material. Even walking in with wet feet it has good traction. I've been setting up the shop this week and the color works great.

Red

If I am hijacking this thread please let me know. However I have a somewhat related situation.The shop I use was inherited, and my Dad and brother poured a concrete floor but left a rough finish. In fact, there are places where some of the aggregate (sp?) shows. This makes vacuuming and sweeping difficult. Is there a product (topcoat?) that could be poured to alleviate this somewhat and still be durable? As usual, any suggestions are welcomed and appreciated! By the way, the concrete is gray and I still have trouble seeing a nail or screw!

I am changing my color to ... BLACK

Why? Dropped a chisel again. I think it is worth doing a full rubber floor. The little hook together foam pads don't do it. Stuff gets under them, too soft to roll over.

my vote is for white. I work in the aerospace industry where it’s common to have white floors.

(epoxy) grout?

I did an epoxy floor with a heavy flake which they called 'tuxedo' finish. I love the epoxy floor and it has been super well wearing over the years. But I do not recommend this color scheme at all. It soaks up dropped fasteners as soon as they touch the floor. If I drop a screw on the floor, I immediately drop down to try to find it by feel. It really is the perfect camouflage for fasteners.
I would recommend a color that isn't gray and really like flake if you do flake. Or a colored flake like blue or red so dropped things stand out.

You make me want a magnet broom (again)!

That red sure looks good. I’m working at doing mine in O Positve red a drop at a time!
