Pigment recommendations for grout? Seeking info/recommendations

What pigments do you use to colour grout? In particular, for outdoor use or colourfast in high-UV scenarios.

I used pigment powder for paint, but it faded out in a few weeks in the sun. I also have mason stain, but the amount I need to use to achieve anything other than pastel is expensive.

What do you guys use? Or should I just buy grout pre-coloured the way I want? It seems like it would be a lot easier to have a neutral base and mix in dyes/pigments as needed.

Todays raspberry harvest

The heat has the berries ripening early and fast this year. I’ll probably get at least a half pint of red and black raspberries per day for the next little while.

#2 some birds to fill a gap in my garden wall

Grouting vertical surface that isn’t totally flat is hard. Mistakes were made, but I think it turned out pretty cool.

20x20 using scrap glass, and vase filler rocks/glass.

How to treat oak sapling?

This broadleaf (?) red oak is roughly 6 years old (Ive had it for 3.5) and this is the first year Ive had this leaf browning.

Any idea why? Does it need a particular nutrient or is this bug/fungus damage? Sun scalding? Please help diagnose my tree.

Tree was grown from an acorn and given to me as a wedding present.

I leaned into the chaos and maximalism. The black grout on the water really helped pull it together and separate the fore mid and background.

Many lessons learned, but I’m really happy with the result for a first attempt.

Using scrap glass, glueing down with outdoor weld bond and grouting with sanded Portland grout (is that the right kind?). Since I have no idea what I’m doing, any constructive criticism or instruction is welcome.
