Stamped Concrete Issue?

[htgomez88]

Hello everyone,

Our pool builder just got done pouring concrete in our backyard. It's stamped concrete roman texture with a dark grey release. It has been about 1 week since pour. The attached picture is what it currently looks like. I am concerned with the stamp outline that is clearly visible and the fact that it is not consistently dark grey and is 2 tone with what seems to look like just regular concrete color. Will this change as it cures? Is this how it's supposed to look? Hoping others have some experience with this. TIA

What does your builder say? I don't think it's going to change much more.

In the videos I’ve seen that done, they don’t line up each edge of the forms on purpose to avoid being able to see the joints like that.

The color may change with exposure to sun and a bleaching effect of the color but that will happen evenly and the darker color areas may not catch up to the lighter colors.
The pattern that is visible is not commonly seen after a week.
