Multi-color asphalt emulsion coating

A multi-color coating, comprising:

• a water-based carrier including water, a clay, and an electrolyte;
• an emulsified asphalt base, including water, a colloidal stabilizer, a thickener, a wetting agent, a dispersant, asphalt, at least one wear resistant composition, and a coalescing solvent;
• and
• at least one globular color component, including water, a colloidal stabilizer, a thickener, a wetting agent, a dispersant, a pigment, a wear resistant composition, and a coalescing solvent, wherein said color component has a viscosity and colloidal strength effective to prevent it from mixing with said emulsified asphalt base.

A multi-color coating, including:

• a water-based carrier including about 87 to about 97% by weight water and about 3% to about 10% by weight of a clay;
• an emulsified asphalt base including about 5 to 50% by weight water, about 0.1 to about 5.0% by weight of a colloidal stabilizer, up to about 2% by weight of a thickener and about 10 to about 90% by weight of an asphalt;
• and
• at least one globular color component including about 5 to about 50% by weight of water, about 0.1 to about 5% by weight of a colloidal stabilizer, about 0.1 to about 2% by weight of a thickener and up to about 10% by weight of a pigment, wherein said color component has a viscosity and colloidal strength effective to prevent it from mixing with said emulsified asphalt base.
