I'm torn between light grey, light tan, or white. I just know I'd like a light color. I've been searching quite a bit but it seems like most searches only see the word epoxy which makes it difficult to sift through. If you have any pictures of yours or some you have saved, please feel free to share.
Light colored epoxy floor...let's see your pics.

That looks good Beetroot. I much prefer the light flake coverage over the professionally done, cover-ever-square-centimeter-with-flakes method. I've worked on one of those floors and while they're uniform and tough, don't expect to find any small thingamajigs you just dropped.

Here's my old garage I did a couple years back. Tan, no clear on top. I'm glad I didn't go for the clear, as I think I wouldn't have liked the amount of reflection from the flourescents. Unfortunately I can't say how it's held up w/o the clear as I don't live there anymore.
Scotty what type of broadcast do you consider that to be. I like the color and will probably get that just trying to decide what type of broadcast I want to do.Here is a Phazor Tan, not yet on our color chart but certainly available.

check out westcoat.com and look at the epoxy section over there. They have a number of different tans and grays, along with different colored chips. Just remember that without the chip to hide, you see every imperfection in the floor. You can go full broadcast to medium to very light, the less chip you use, the harder it is to get it to look even.
go down to color charts and look at the chip blends of the liquid granite and the solid colors of the topcoats and epoxies

That is one pound per hundred sq ft.
I like it the best as you still see a good amount of coating.

Here is a bump, I found this thread very helpful, I bought 10 pounds of 1/8" designer gray from http://armorcladepoxy.com/ArmorcladColors.html my Legacy Industrial light gray floor.
I felt like I had a little too much flake for my 22'x22' shoebox but used it anyway. I think I could have gotten away with 5 pounds and been very happy.
The best advice I can give is to test tossing onto a sheet of plastic the day before.
I rented a chop gun and decided to toss by hand after testing on the plastic. The $24 was worth it so I will never second guess my flake technique or as my wife calls it, sprinkles. One last item to remember, plan each foot step with the spikes, especially over areas that have had the 821 epoxy crack filler applied. I found these areas very slick.
Tomorrow I will clean off the excess flake and clear coat.

C2 they hold up well with good maintenance.
Road grit and salt needs to be swept out, when it accumulates.

If this holds up equal to my u-coat-it I will be pleased but from a what I have read u-coat-it ***** so I'm expecting much better.
My u-coat-it had dozens of engine and transmission pulls on it over the 12 years I worked on VWs on the side. It held up relatively well considering the abuse.
epoxy coat with medium flake
fstbusa, I really like that color. Do you remember the base coat & chip colors you used?
