Concrete – Blending new concrete patch fix

cementconcrete

I'm back for another concrete-related question:

I previously asked Fixing broken piece of concrete and got great answers from folks here.

I went to HD this weekend and finally patched up the broken cement piece. I also got a little cement-happy and patched up a crack on the stairs (pics below)

I didn't think I care for the look of things, it really stands out from the rest of the stoop. Is there a way to blend it in more?

Will it naturally blend over time as it gets weathered out?

Thanks for your kind help!

It might be too late, but I would try pressure washing the old concrete to see if it lightens up. Other than that, the repairs will always be a different color unless you use something to color it.
