COTTAGE GREEN®
Rich, Deep and Lush. Boasting the full richness of our lush Australian rainforest, Cottage Green® is ideally suited to many heritage colour schemes. The deep and lush green nestles easily on coastal, urban and country homes and building designs.
|
LOFT®
Loft® is a reach deep brown colour with a slight aubergine overtone. It was inspired by the original slate colours found on early church roofs, and on the roofs of Victorian school and houses.
|
PALE EUCALYPT®
Gentle and Muted. Pale Eucalypt® is an all Australian favourite, equally suited to a simple country cottage or a state of the art urban design. The name says it all, it reflects the gentle, muted soft green toning of the eucalyptus. Its subtle beauty blends softly with the colours of nature.
|
BUSHLAND®
Ideally Neutral. Bushland® is made up of a smooth mix of the green hues of grevillea and tea tree and blended with the 'concrete grey' of our urban environment. Such a blend makes Bushland® an ideal companion to a wide range of home styles, from classic to modern.
|
MONUMENT®
Monument® is unashamedly a city colour. It will emphasise the modernity of today’s architecture. It is a strong, confident, neutral colour adding depth and strength to the colour palette.
|
IRONSTONE®
Seamless Co-ordination with Metal Finishes. With its purplish-grey finish, Ironstone® is extremely versatile as it compliments stainless steel, as well as stone, glass, slate and marble. Ironstone® evokes several images of far-off city buildings, rocks, boulders in a seascape, and the sky before a storm.
|
EVENING HAZE®
Evening Haze® strongly evokes the coastal landscape, the desert sand, the limestone dunes, the barren plains and the inland and coastal dried grasses and Spinifex.

|
CLASSIC CREAM™
High Country Highlights. With its warm, luscious texture, Classic Cream™ lends a natural yet fresh, cool feel to any home. Representing the richness of the morning sun on dry high country trails Classic Cream™ works equally well as a stand-alone colour or as a defining tone with darker materials.
|
PAPERBARK®
Soft, Warm and Creamy. Suited to both traditional and modern designs, whether as a subtle contrast or a feature colour. Paperbark® is a perfect companion to the richness of the heritage colours and blends well with natural building materials.
|
SANDBANK®
Harmonises with the natural environment. Sandbank® perfectly compliments a wide range of natural environments, contemporary buildings, and at the same time harmonises with the more classic styles and colour schemes of traditional designs. Sandbank® with its hint of grey is reminiscent of coastal dunes, spinifex grass and inner city sandstone.
|
JASPER®
An Earthy Colour. Jasper® suits a wide variety of materials and building styles, which makes it equally suited for city and country homes and buildings. Jasper® is touched by the colours of the earth, stone, shale and the deepest hues of the eucalypt.
|
SHALE GREY™
Pale and Fresh. The play of natural light gives Shale Grey™ a lustrous depth, lending a fresh cool feel to homes on the coast, in the suburbs or in the country. It provides a subtle and natural finish, and is also an ideal foil to darker, richer colorbond® steel colours.

|
WINDSPRAY®
Richness of Aged Iron. Windspray® adds depth to a colour scheme. Its classic neutral toning works perfectly on just about any home design and with any building material. With its richness of an aged old iron and just a hint of blue makes Windspray® evocative of the soft shadows cast by summer clouds.
|
WILDERNESS®
Majestic Rivergums. The lighter green tones found on the gums, which lie along the great Australian rivers, were the inspiration of this colour. It offers versatility and is the perfect tone to highlight, contrast or blend with natural products such as sandstone and other lighter-coloured building materials.
|
DEEP OCEAN®
Uniquely Australian Deep Ocean® echoes the distant horizon of many of Australia's great panoramas. Capturing both the richness and depth of the ocean and the bluegum haze of distant mountain ranges makes Deep Ocean® ideal for a variety of applications. From wave-shaped curves of a coastal retreat, modern inner city dwelling right through to classic styling of a country home.
|
HEADLAND®
Warm, Mellow and Earthy. Capturing the magical colours of the Australian outback, Headland® is equally at home with both contemporary designs and with the heritage colours of a traditional home.
