Asian Paints Shade Cards & Catalogues

What is a colour shade card?

A colour shade card is a visual tool that displays a range of colours available in paint selections, arranged in a range from light to dark. It helps you to visualise how different shades of a colour will look when applied to surfaces like walls, fabrics, or furniture. These cards are important in guiding you through the complex process of choosing the right shade for your projects. 

Importance of a Shade Card in Interior Design

When it comes to the interior design of a home a colour shade card is important to create a balanced and aesthetically pleasing living space. These cards allow designers to visualise how colours and wall textures will work together, experiment with contrasts, or create a mood within a room. Shade cards are especially useful for avoiding any mistakes with combinations or contrasts and help make sure that the selected colour will improve a room’s atmosphere, whether it is a cosy bedroom or a lively living room.

Colour Families in Shade Cards

Shade cards organise colours into families or groups, making it easier to understand the subtle variations within each colour type.

Neutral Tones

Neutral tones include whites, greys, beiges, and soft browns. These shades are considered versatile and timeless, making them a popular choice in many households. Neutrals help to create a clean, sophisticated backdrop that helps the furniture and other decorative items stand out, making them the perfect choice for modern and minimalist design ideas.

Warm Hues

Warm hues include red, orange, and yellow which create a welcoming, energetic ambience. The colours are perfect for spaces where you have conversations with your friends and family or have intimate dining parties, such as living rooms, dining areas, or kitchens. These warm tones help to evoke feelings of warmth and cosiness, making them perfect for accent walls or feature areas that need to stand out and provide a sense of comfort. 

Cool Shades

When it comes to creating a calming and peaceful effect usually we opt for the cool shades. The cool shades include shades of blue, green and purple, which are perfect for bedrooms, bathrooms and study rooms to create a soothing environment. According to the wall colour combination selected, you can select from the colour shade card for the home which cool shades fit your interiors.

Incorporating Texture with Shade Cards

Using a colour shade card for home design doesn’t just focus on colour but also texture. Textured finishes such as metallic, stucco, or matte bring depth to a space, transforming plain walls into focal points. Textures are particularly effective when combined with complementary colours from a shade card, creating a dynamic and engaging environment. For instance, pairing cool blue shades with a matte texture can make a living room feel expansive and serene, while warm hues in a satin finish can energize a kitchen or dining space.
