Who We Are andWhat We Do
03
The philosophies and methodologies informing the choice and application of colour in any environment are many and varied. Colour, in addition to interior form, light, space and texture, is a major design element that helps create a particular mood or atmosphere. Externally, colour can be a means of contextualising a building amongst others, or be used to define its form distinctly from others. Internally, colour has a large role to play in the demarcation of spaces and the definition of their purpose. Of course, it can also be used to create mood or, conversely, neutrality where other elements of the design are brought to the fore.

Colour Palettes

There are five areas shown in the book; corridors, stairways, lift/lobby areas, a lounge and bedroom. Each room-set visualises at least twenty colour ways ranging from subtle neutrals through to rich, vivid options. Each colour scheme considers the needs and requirements of the visually impaired with sufficient tonal contrast between critical surfaces. The library has been designed to take the hassle out of choosing colour, offering inspiration. However, while suggestions and guidelines are proposed, the possibilities for colour schemes are endless. We take every effort to ensure that colours are shown as accurately as possible, however, due to print limitations, the colours shown here may not exactly match the paint colours and do not represent a particular texture or finish. Please ensure that paint colours are checked prior to application. The Crown Paints Colour Service recommends samples are ordered from the Customer Relations Team on 0330 024 0297.
