After the new cement dries hardens completely, give it a good wash with clean water and completely dry it. Under a day with bright sun no wind, apply a few coats of any garage floor/brick/stucco/cement paint (preferably with epoxy base).
You can paint it. Hardware stores have paints for that, but it will come off with time. If you want it permanent, it will be not painting, but colored cement. Again, ask at a hardware store what pigments to add while making cement to get certain colors.
Is this near/around a pool or water source? Cement must be sealed, then painted. Go to B. Moore paints or Bear paints. Lowes Home center carries both I think. The paint for cement is a special blend that must be used. Can use paint sprayer.
