We have to choose a color for the stucco. La Habra stucco has a cementitious or an acrylic stucco finish. While the cementitious stucco finish could last for 50 years without repair or re-coating, the acrylic finish will last 30 years without repair or re-coating. Initially the acrylic will be better for achieving a darker finish (as we see with the sample), which seems to be the primary benefit of acrylic over stucco. In either case the color may change over time. See stucco finish comparison here.
