Don't know of a color equivalent to liquid light. The problem with
most alternative processes is that the light of an enlarger won't do it
- - UV is needed as is a contact-sized negative (or positive, depending
on the process)
Would suggest you use liquid light, then color the image with photo
oils. On cement (which I assume you will seal *very* thoroughly before
applying the liquid light) the oils will take a long time to dry, but
once they are dry, it should last for a long time. Just guesswork -
I've never tried anything like this.
