Natural Colour System – Tool of the (Décor) Trade.

Your go-to tool for colour in décor. If you ever feel overwhelmed by the vast choice of colours available and find a challenge working out which colours work with what, don’t feel alone, as everyone sees colour differently. Help is available in the form of the Natural Colour System (NCS).

Used by thousands of designers and architects worldwide, the NCS Design Tools are the preferred choice for professionals in the colour field. The NCS is based on how people see colour and is internationally recognised as the colour order system for colour selection, specification, communication and the control of colour in décor, design, architecture, research, marketing and manufacturing.

The NCS system and NCS colour notations help you to find the colour you are looking for.

External Paints for Masonry

Painting on masonry surfaces, such as concrete, brick, or stucco, offers a versatile means of protecting and enhancing the appearance of these structural elements. Masonry, while durable, can be susceptible to weathering, moisture infiltration, and staining over time. Proper surface preparation is essential, involving cleaning, repairing cracks or damage, and applying a suitable primer to ensure paint adhesion.

Universal Paints can mix and match any colour you desire. Select from classic whites to vibrant hues and effortlessly give your masonry surfaces a chic, contemporary, or rustic look!

Gooooooo bokke🇿🇦🏉

Everyone wants to wear their best colours. There are clothes we never wear, probably because they're the wrong colour for us. There are clothes in our cupboards that we tend to favour because they’re probably the right colours. Finding your best colours to wear enhances your look. One way to find your best colours is to take pictures of yourself. Try on various colours then take your picture (close up, in natural light).

Look for colours that
🌈 Make your eyes sparkle
🌈 Bring down dark circles or blemishes
🌈 Flatter the tones in your hair
🌈 Perk up your cheeks
🌈 Make your feel good

It's Left Hander Day today! Here's to all the lefties 🙌

And here's a good painting tip for you - when painting as a left-hander, start in the room's right-hand corner.

"Your attitude is like a box of crayons that colour your world. Constantly colour your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colours to the picture by including humour, and your picture begins to lighten up." - Allen Klein

🎨🏃‍♂️"The Jumping Colour" Game! 🏃‍♀️🎨

Looking for a fun and engaging activity for your next gathering? "The Jumping Colour" is perfect for kids and adults alike. Here’s how it works:

Participants: 10 and up
Location: Indoors or outdoors, as long as it's spacious enough
Materials: Coloured paper sheets

How to Play:

Divide into Groups: Each group chooses a colour and attaches sheets of that colour to themselves.
Storytime: The game leader starts telling a creative and imaginative story, making sure to mention the chosen colorus frequently.
Jump or Raise a Hand: Group members must jump (or raise a hand) every time their colour is mentioned.

Pro Tips:

The game leader should weave the colours into the story, sometimes mentioning the same colour multiple times to keep the group on their toes. Keep the story lively and unpredictable to add to the excitement.

This straightforward game is all about quick reactions and having fun together. It’s ideal for parties, team-building events, and family gatherings. Give it a try and watch everyone jump with joy! 🌈✨

Painting Like a Pro: Mastering the Must-Do's

Giving your walls a fresh coat of paint? Here's what you need to know about painting on plaster for a flawless finish.

1. Prep is everything: Sanded smooth and free of dust, your plaster is a perfect canvas for paint. Fill any minor imperfections for an even finish.
2. Prime time: A good quality primer specifically for plaster helps paint adhere better and provides a more even coverage.
3. Top it off: Now you're ready for your beautiful top coat. Two thin coats are usually better than one thick one.

When selecting a paint for a Plaster surface, we recommend using either our Pigmented Plaster Primer or our Water Based Plaster primer.
