Looking for some advice please.
I am going to give it a go at repointing an Indian Stone patio, which previously had black/dark grey Geofix. Thinking of repointing with a grey mortar, so my question is how do I achieve a grey mortar?

Secondly I am also going to give it a go at repointing the side of the house which is more of a yellow/sand color mortar, so how would i achieve this color?

Ive picked up a standard bag of sand and cement from the local builders merchant, can I achieve both colors with different rations of sand/cement?
Also seen you can buy pre mixed mortar on amazon which states is grey, would it be less hassle to just buy a pre mix or can I achieve it with what I already have?

Thanks in advance
