Read the fixed colours around the site
Begin with elements that will not change soon: the home exterior, roof, fences, pool interior and large retaining walls. A paver can complement those colours or provide a deliberate contrast.
Look at undertones. Warm beige, cream and brown finishes can feel different beside cool grey stone or blue water, even when their overall brightness is similar.
Compare samples outdoors
View samples at the actual site in morning sun, afternoon sun and shade. Concrete colour can look different as the light changes, and natural raw materials can produce some variation between batches.
Place several pieces together rather than judging one sample. If possible, view the finish after it has been wetted, since outdoor surfaces may look different when damp.
Coordinate colour with layout
A strong pattern or contrasting border draws attention to the paving. If the colour is already a feature, a simpler laying pattern may create a more balanced result.
Browse the available [colours and finishes](/our-products/) and ask for a current sample before final selection.
