Palette overview

Use this section to outline the tone families, contrast levels and finishes you plan to apply across the project. The diagrams below help you map how tones shift from space to space, without tying you to specific names.

Tone hierarchy

Start by deciding which tone carries the background, which supports circulation zones, and which is reserved for feature areas.

  1. 1

    Background tone

    Continuous, low-contrast tone that links most spaces together.

  2. 2

    Primary tone

    Used where activity is highest: lobbies, main corridors, shared working areas.

  3. 3

    Accent tone

    Reserved for key thresholds, focal walls, stairs or special zones.

Balance of elements

Think of each mix as three parts: base tone, visible inclusions and surface finish. The graphic shows their relative weight.

Base tone

Approx. 60%

Overall field that you notice first when entering the space.

Inclusions

Approx. 30%

Granular elements that add movement, direction and scale.

Finish

Approx. 10%

Surface texture and sheen, adjusted to suit slip and cleaning needs.

Shade ladder

A simple ladder of three steps helps keep decisions consistent across the scheme.

Step A
Softest shade – reception, flexible work areas.
Step B
Mid shade – main circulation and shared spaces.
Step C
Strongest shade – feature areas and framing elements.

Collections overview

Collections group mixes by series and grade so you can move from soft and calm fields through to highly expressive compositions, without relying on fixed names.

Grade legend

Grades describe how much movement you see from aggregates and how open the field appears.

  • Fine

    Dense, small inclusions for a smoother, more uniform read.

  • Classic

    Balanced expression suitable for most interior and exterior slabs.

  • Sparse

    More open field with inclusions used as quiet points of interest.

  • Aspect

    Directional or feature-driven look, used where you want a stronger statement.

  • Recycled

    Mixes that incorporate reclaimed content for circular design goals.

Project checklist

Run through this checklist when shortlisting options with clients or project teams.

  • ✓ Confirm tone hierarchy: background, primary areas and key accents.
  • ✓ Match grades to slip, cleaning and durability requirements.
  • ✓ Decide where recycled or specialty mixes will be most visible and meaningful.
  • ✓ Request project-specific samples for the exact finish and aggregate exposure.
