The responses have covered all your questions, basically, so now you have to decide which way to go and how
durable you want the driveway color.
In short, unless the color is added to the mix so the concrete itself is colored, it will fade and wear away. Stamping is a different issue as it puts a pattern into the wet pour--colored or not. Living in California, you probably won't have freeze or mold issues, but it's good to know about them.
Stained concrete is really meant for interior uses, like counter tops and floors, that can be continually protected by sealants or coverings, like rugs.
