In recent years the demand for white in particular has been great and still trending. The look of businesslike , cleanliness, neatness, peaceful, and well organized, dominates the zeitgeist. Looking at the rich color chart below, it is curious in itself that the color white, which is not actually a color, dominates so much outdoors and indoors.

Whether you want to use color to shape your personal atmosphere in your living or working space or, conversely, use color to have a “positive” influence. Let the colors from the surroundings flow in and flow over into your living or working space or, on the contrary, contrast and keep what is outside outside.

In the interplay of clay colors and pigments, the possibilities are unlimited

Tierrafino basically distinguishes between earth tones and pigments. With clay colors, we mix earth tones with colored clay and colored sand. With pigments, only a small percentage is added to colored plasters or paints.

If your color request falls outside our standard color shades, or you have a RAL colors or NCS code, we will develop your personal color preference for you.
