Rasmussen formulates our own proprietary, environmentally-friendly ceramic stain colorations, which differ from paint in the following qualities:

1) Ceramic Stain produces a transparent, non-uniform appearance as it absorbs into the material's pores, rather than merely covering the surface of the shape, like paint does.

2) Unlike paint, Ceramic Stain will not burn away under fire.  Ceramic Stain will age gracefully.

3) Color appearance may vary from piece to piece, enhancing the uniqueness of our products.

4) the "Natural" color is the base refractory concrete color as it comes straight from the molds.  No coloration is added.  "Natural" is tannish-gray in color.

These colors may be specified for any of our FireBalls, FireShapes or FireStones sets.
