Picking a colour scheme that suits the house and the street

How the AfriBase colour portfolio helps you choose tones that age well.

Read the fixed elements

Roof tiles, face brick, stone cladding and aluminium frames are not changing. Choose wall colours that sit comfortably next to them instead of fighting them.

Test on the wall, not on paper

Paint a square metre and look at it in morning and late afternoon light. Colour shifts with direction, shade and the reflection off nearby walls.

Use the African palette deliberately

Names like Namibian Sunset, Kenyan Obsidian and Senegalese Great Green come from real landscapes. Pair a warm earth tone on the body with a deeper trim and the house reads as one composition.

Keep trim simple

One trim colour across fascias, frames and doors gives a calm result. Two or more competing accents make a house look busy from the street.
