Supplied individually, as a 6-swatch card, or as a full set of 48.
Why Use Colour Swatches
Swatches are not just colour references. They are practical tools that support accurate colour selection and design planning.
1. Match to Existing Stonework
Hold the swatches directly against existing surfaces such as stone windowsills, lintels, or fireplaces to identify the closest match.
2. Compare Finishes and Textures
All swatches are in the Simply Stone™ finish, but they give a clear sense of both colour and surface quality. If you're considering Stone Flecks™, Antiqued Stone™, or Smooth Stone™, the swatch can be used to confirm the colour before ordering a sample pot in the preferred finish.
3. Explore Colour Options Before Committing
The 6-swatch card allows you to compare up to six colours side by side. Useful for shortlisting options or deciding between similar tones.
4. Present to Clients or Colleagues
Design professionals can use swatches in client meetings or project boards. The full 48-colour set is a useful resource for studios and trade partners working across multiple sites.
5. Hand-Painted for Accuracy
Each swatch is painted using the same paint supplied for your project. They are not printed or machine-produced, ensuring the finish shown on the swatch matches the applied result.
