Had some cracks in the concrete slab (poured patio) that we have now repaired by running along the cracks with an angle grinder and then using a cement mortar that was intended for this purpose. However, now that it's done, the repairs are brown-colored and the slab is gray.
Should I go over it again with an angle grinder and use a concrete mix (concrete powder+water) instead?
The product I used was this:

Or should I use self-leveling compound? Please leave tips!

I have also applied filler on concrete with concrete filler and it results in a different color.
You can always paint over it as in my case which was a staircase.

You should get the same color if you just mix concrete without aggregate, right? Preferably want the concrete and not paint :/.

Yes, one would think so. I also thought they would be a similar color, but there was a big difference. A concrete worker did similar work at my job and even that resulted in quite a significant color difference. Now, it's a factory and the appearance is not as important, but maybe it's not possible to achieve the same color with filler products?
I would have repaired with ardex a46, it is probably the closest in color you can get. But unfortunately, it probably doesn't matter much what you choose, it will always show more or less regardless of what you use for repairs. But I would have gone with ardex a46 // Mikael
