All the coloring was done with acid stains.  For rich, deep tones I don't know that anything else compares. I use the Concrete Coatings Inc. acid stains (http://concretecoatingsinc.com/vivid_acid_stains.html) although I suspect others would work as well. (Bronze green (olive now), mahogany amd weathered terra cotta are my favorites)

Sometimes, especially when I want deep leathery colors, I'll acid stain, then wash the surface with a thinned chocolate acrylic coloring, it's amazing the rich color it produces.
