yeah, that's the bentonite/cement mix, I think.

It looks pretty interesting, for those wanting a "better" ground, but 
not interested in the full on UFER.   According to the literature on 
their site, you can either do it as a slurry (like the videos) or just 
dry, and let soil moisture do it's work.

I don't know if it's dark because of the material (bentonite that I've 
seen is very light tan color.. cat litter color, without the colored 
pieces).

Maybe they also add fly ash or carbon to it?
