Development of a New Concrete Oxide Colour Range

Love Your Work – This is why I enjoy what I do… Colour Development

Last year I worked with Dianne and Paul at the Oxide Distributing Company in Glenfield, Auckland to develop a usable and contemporary range of colours for their concrete oxides.

It is called the Designer Colour Range, and has 27 relevant and exciting oxides, which has already had a fantastic response from their customers since launched. There are 9 different colour categories, each of which have 3 variations of hues and tones – Riverstone; Slate; Autumn; Desert; Clay; Sandstone; Tussock; Coastal; and Greenstone. The range was inspired by our own natural New Zealand flora, rocks and soils.

Those Blue-Green Colours

Those blue-green colours, and what to call them – aqua; turquoise; cyan; cerulean; teal; duck egg blue; blue-green-grey; pastel blue-green; blue-green or green-blue…… Some languages have the same word for blue and green. I love the complexities of the colours available in paint today. As in nature some of these paint colours appear more green than blue on some days, and on other days more blue than green. There is combination of calm and freshness about these colours.
