Duram’s Habitat Colour Collection connects walls, ceilings, doors, windows and trims to the natural aesthetics of South Africa. The distinct palette of 90 paint hues will take you on an indigenous expedition of colour and are conveniently available for purchase in a 90ml low sheen colour sample.

Capturing the pigments of the picturesque landscapes and remarkable flora and fauna, Duram’s Habitat Colour Collection balances contemporary interior and exterior trends with earthy undertones, elemental hues and floral shades.

The right choice in interior paint will create flow, allowing for a seamless transition between room and living space, breathing life and comfort into blank areas. As the movement towards creating welcoming spaces increases, green hues inspired by nature, such as Tree Fern, Pumpkin Shell, Lala Palm and Kelp Forest, produce harmony, giving a living area a sense of renewal. To create a striking accent in shades of pink and clay, Duram suggests Savannah Sunset, Fynbos Bloom and Pincushion Red – the warm hues will energise dining and office spaces. Drawn from elemental inspiration, Spring Daisy, Yellow Weaver and Acacia Honey, inspired by flora and fauna, rejuvenates an area’s atmosphere by absorbing natural light.

Interior spaces offer warmth, calmness and character; in contrast, exterior paints provide an added layer of protection for walls, conceal cracks and plaster imperfections, keeping them beautiful for longer while still creating captivating facades. Dark inky hues are not a trend of the past. Black with subtle blue undertones, such as Whale Fin, Bushveld Night and Heron’s Crest, pair well with natural building elements such as brick, wood and stone, highlighting the layers of contemporary exteriors. For a neutral exterior paint that provides a deep, rich and earthy undertone, we suggest Dune Lark, Sani Pass and Tugela Falls. The neutral palette accentuates exterior industrial accents, forming further depth in exterior dimensions. To bring sophistication to large surface areas, a grey palette of Dolphin’s Leap, Lace Agate and Landers Reef delicately adapts to shifting natural light throughout the day.
