How can I make my red cement pavers look like an even color?
There is some cement haze and a bit of cement that was put in as grout on only part of the pavers. The rest are just laid in a sand bed. Is there something that I can use to color the cement and haze as well as add more color to the pavers?

Hello there,
Use a Brick Paint?
If this is a new installation, you might wait a bit for things to clear up. You’d need a stain to even the color but generally speaking, that type of material is meant to have color variations.
Concrete/Masonry dye/stain will never wear off, nor peal. Both Lowes and Home Depot sell them. Look for an opaque formula.
