We have done this to our garage and basement floors. The hardware store has concrete paint and there are so many colors to pick from mow. Here is an article that might be helpful - http://www.diynetwork.com/how-to/rooms-and-spaces/floors/how-to-paint-a-concrete-floor - good luck
Best way is to use cement coloring powder/dye before applying the concrete the paint will eventually peel off

The rough concrete finish is there for a reason, so that it will not be slippery when wet. Powerwash and scrub clean. Let dry. Then apply stain or paint formulated for concrete, let dry, then seal.
It is already poured - just want to update
