Choosing Coloured Concrete With Confidence: Why Sampling Matters

Colour can significantly influence how concrete sits within a project. But when specifying coloured concrete, selecting a shade from a screen is only the beginning.

FormaColoured provides architects and designers with a curated collection of 14 colours inspired by the landscapes, waterways, wildlife and natural environments of Aotearoa New Zealand.

To make exploring the range easier, DesignHub offers physical FormaColoured samples you can order directly for your project or design library.

Digital colour references are useful in the early stages of design, but screens, lighting, and surrounding materials can affect how a colour appears.

Having a physical concrete sample in hand provides another reference point when developing a material palette, comparing options or discussing selections with clients and project teams.

It also allows FormaColoured shades to be viewed alongside other proposed project materials, such as cladding, timber, paving, landscaping and finishes.

Order samples for your project

If you are considering FormaColoured for a current project, you can order up to three individual samples directly through the DesignHub website.

This is ideal when you have already narrowed down your preferred colours and want to compare a small selection before progressing further.

Build the complete FormaColoured range into your materials library

Architectural and design practices can also request the complete FormaColoured sample collection.

Presented in a compact sample box, the collection brings all 14 core FormaColoured colours together in one place, making it easy to keep the range on hand for future projects, client discussions and material selections.

Allied Concrete can arrange delivery of the complete collection directly to your practice.
