Designing for feeling
A surface is more than a colour.
Light, texture, colour and material work together to shape the character of a room. The right finish can make a space feel calm, energetic, intimate or open.
Our surface systems are designed to let these elements work in harmony, giving architects and homeowners the freedom to build a distinctive atmosphere.
Material, texture and colour
Design with depth, balance and personality.
Subtle clouding, polished movement and tactile mineral textures bring depth to a surface. A considered palette makes those details feel intentional and connected.
The Surface Crete colour system
Five colour ranges, designed to work together.
Our palette moves from light and soft shades through greys and deeper tones, before reaching richer accents and pale finishing notes.
Within each range, colours can be paired tone-on-tone or contrasted with confidence. Across the ranges, similar intensities create a balanced material story.

How to read the colour scheme
The scheme is designed so tone-on-tone combinations can be created within a colour range, from soft to strong contrasts. Combine colours with a similar strength across ranges to build a balanced, expressive space.
