Get inspired by these options to help you choose the Microcement colour of your next project! 

1. Natural Grey Tones

As the name may suggest, Microcement has a base grey tone that can look different depending on whose products you are using. This can range from light, almost white-grey to deeper, charcoal-like tones. Whilst its natural colour comes from the cement it contains, it can be changed with different ratios of pigment to achieve any other colour. 

Light Grey: This creates a bright, airy space with a contemporary feel.

Medium Grey: Offers a balanced, neutral tone that complements various design elements.

Dark Grey/Charcoal: Adds depth and a bold statement, perfect for industrial designs.

2. Earthy and Warm Tones

Earthy tones are essential to any decor project where a calm, cosy and welcoming atmosphere is the goal. The warm, beige and taupe tones blend in seamlessly with natural materials, such as wood and stone,  providing the perfect backdrop for your decor. 

Beige and Taupe: Provide a soft, neutral background that works well in both modern and traditional settings.

Brown: Adds richness and warmth, enhancing the rustic or organic look.

3. Cool Blues and Greens

To achieve a sense of cool and serene space, opting for various shades of blues and greens with a cooler undertone would be an excellent choice. From light pastel variations to deep, rich tones, the spectrum of blues and greens can complement more eclectic styles. 

Pastel Blue and Green: Perfect for creating a soft, relaxing environment in bathrooms or bedrooms.

Deep Blue and Forest Green: Make a bold, sophisticated statement, ideal for feature walls or accent pieces.

Making a statement with a seamless finish can be a great choice for homeowners and designers who would prefer bold finishes, and/or textures. The main advantage of Microcement is its customisation, any vibrant colour you’d like to have, it can be bespoke made according to your taste. 

These hues can be great for adding a pop of colour to and creating focal points within a space.

Yellow and Gold: Bring warmth and brightness, perfect for kitchens or creative spaces.

Orange and Terracotta: Provide a vibrant, earthy feel, great for accent walls or artistic designs.
