Concrete is much more tan than we tend to think. I would start out with a tan base color, then mix in black & white or else the gray of your choice to "lime it up". Use a pallette and a paintbrush, pretend to be an artist, and mix the paints with the brush itself; you'll end up with color variations as you apply it. Use a stiff, short-bristle brush, and stipple in the paint (stab in at the surface, don't drag the bristles across) to create a rough visual texture. When the whole thing is dry, use grey chalk dust to weather it, applied rather heavily.
