per 1000 brick is used, the amount of mortar color required per 1000 brick should be increased or de- creased proportionately.
Following are two formulas for mortar of deep intense color:
Cement Mortar
Clinton Mortar Color (dry) 25 lbs.
Portland cement 1 bag (1 cu. ft.)
Sand 3 Cu. ft.
Hydrated lime 1/10 sack
The above is sufficient to lay approximately 250 brick in running or common bond with half-inch mortar joints.
Cement Lime Mortar
Clinton Mortar Color (dry) 30 lbs.
Portland cement 1 bucket (16 qts.)
Hydrated lime 1 bucket (16 qts.)
Sand 6 buckets (96 quarts)
The second formula is sufficient to lay approximately 300 brick in running or common bond with half-inch mortar joints.
As it is not always convenient to weigh the color on the job, we tabulate below the various shades of Clinton Mortar Color, showing in separate columns the number of quarts of dry Clinton Mortar Color (struck measure) which are equivalent to 25 lbs. and 30 lbs.

Pearl Gray Mortar may be produced by using one-eighth as much Clinton Double Strength Black No. 800 as is recommended above to produce intense black mortar.
Clinton Mortar Black No. 900 or Single Strength Black, as it is sometimes called, will not give a jet black mortar. For best work use Clinton Double Strength Black No. 800.
If a clear buff mortar is desired a cement-lime mortar is recommended. Light colored cement and sand also tend to make the color of the mortar more brilliant. If a deep buff mortar is desired it will be obtained most readily by using a cement mortar with cement and sand of dark color.
Many contractors get good results with smaller proportions of Clinton Mortar Colors than those above recommended. This is possible if coarse sand is used and all ingredients are mixed, remixed, then mixed again. Experience, however, proves that the amounts of color recommended will give good results under all conditions and we cannot assure satisfaction if less color is used. Money spent for a little extra color more than pays for itself, in power and wages saved at the mixer and in the owner’s satisfaction with the finished job.
