Paint it! Cheapest and quickest makeover! Use porch paint and get it tinted.
I would throw an out door or indoor rug over it. If it really makes your eye tick. They're pretty inexpensive. Then I would check out pinterest. Wonderful ideas on that board. I have seen some painted "rugs" on some covered porches or backyard slabs. If you have Habitat for Humanity resale store I would head over there and check out the paint sections over there. You can get some very good bargains there.
If the patch is working and not crumbling, I would simply paint the porch with concrete paint. If you live in an area where it could get slippery, have the paint store add some glass non-slip beads to the paint before mixing.
You could even paint a rug on the concrete to give it some personality... https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=paint%20concrete%20porch%20rug&rs=typed&term_meta[]=paint%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=concrete%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=porch%7Ctyped&term_meta[]=rug%7Ctyped
If the patch is too rough and visable, you could use a grinder or sander with super coarse paper, or a drill with a coarse wire brush attachment to smooth it out. If you simply want to change the crack filler color, then put a thin coat of crack filler in concrete color.
You could sand it down and paint it, that's what we did
