The colors above viewed on a computer monitor are not accurate. The Barnwood has a little more tan tone to it and the Khaki Camo is a lot less tan.
The concrete sills and trim were done with the Folk Art Barnwood:
The granite block was sprayed with Rustoleum Khaki Camo and then stippled with black craft paint:

Which of these would you recommend for concrete curb around black top?
Is there a color that represents old wood?

I like the Khaki camo for curbs. It has more of an aged look. IIRC in his book, Dennis Brennan recommended a spray of light grey automotive primer followed by a light misting of the Khaki camo to get some color variation.

BTW, I highly recommend Dennis' book for learning scenery techniques.
