Shed Colour Guide
Choosing the right coloured shed cladding will have an impact on how warm or cold your shed will be and the overall aesthetic of your space. Lighter colours will reflect more sunlight and may help keep your shed cooler in warmer climates. Darker colours will absorb and hold heat more, which can be beneficial in cold climates.
The new COLORBOND Classic colours Dover White, Southerly and Bluegum are inspired by the Australian landscape and will complement both traditional and contemporary designs. Dover White is a bright white that unifies a tonal scheme and provides contrast. Southerly is a cool grey that draws inspiration from coastal shorelines and rolling hills and invites a “cool change” with its serene tones. Bluegum is a calming mid-tone that works well in rural coastal and urban construction.
Shed colours can also influence your energy bill and help you comply with local government regulations, such as NCC or BASIX. For example, a darker shade will attract and hold heat, so it may be more economical to use a lighter colour in warmer climates. Lighter colours also hide dirt more effectively, making them easier to maintain, particularly in areas that are prone to dust blowing around.
