Consider Your Brand Identity
Your ACP colour should match your brand logo, signage and overall visual identity. Bold colours can help a business stand out, while neutral shades create a more elegant and professional appearance.
Avoid using too many contrasting colours, as this can make the façade look crowded and reduce visual comfort.
Understand Your Target Audience
Consider the type of customers your business wants to attract. Different colours create different impressions.
Bright colours may work well for retail stores, restaurants and entertainment businesses, while metallic grey, silver, white and blue are often suitable for offices, hospitals and corporate buildings.
Study Your Competitors
Review the colours commonly used by other businesses in your industry. This can help you understand market trends and identify opportunities to create a distinctive appearance.
Your colour scheme should remain relevant to your industry while making your property easy to recognise.
Select Colours According to the Business Type
Different businesses require different visual styles. For example:
- Corporate offices: grey, silver, white or blue
- Retail stores: bright colours and branded combinations
- Restaurants and cafés: warm and welcoming shades
- Hospitals and clinics: white, blue or soft neutral colours
- Luxury businesses: black, bronze, champagne or metallic finishes
The selected colours should reflect the nature and positioning of the business.
Test Different Shades
Before finalising the colour, compare multiple shades under natural and artificial lighting. A colour may appear different depending on sunlight, shadows and surrounding materials.
Testing small samples on the actual building surface helps determine how the final façade will look.
Consider the Surrounding Architecture
The ACP colour should complement the building’s glass, signage, landscape and nearby structures. It should also suit the local environment without blending in completely or looking out of place.
Choose a Suitable Finish
Along with colour, the finish also affects the overall appearance. ACP coatings are available in:
- Glossy finishes for a bright, premium look
- Matt finishes for a subtle and modern appearance
- Metallic finishes for contemporary architecture
- Textured finishes for distinctive visual appeal
