Pink wall block

This topic may have been discussed before; if so, I apologize.

Concrete wall stone, the interlocking variety that is wildly popular, seems to be mostly available in God-awful colors. Pink and orange hues just don't do it for me. Also, in general, the products offered by Versa-lock, Belgard, and EP Henry are so light-colored its ridiculous. My opinions, anyway.

I know these types of walls have their place. Who manufactures block in much darker and more "natural" colors?

In our area the Keystone Country Manor comes in a couple of darker colors. Also, have you looked at the Techo Bloc colors?

We like the Mini-Creta from Techo-Bloc and they make a wide range of colors.

Techo bloc's website seems to be rated potentially unsafe. WTF?
