When designing a shed with us, you'll have to consider more than just the main colour of the shed as there are many other components to add onto your order. Basalt is a modern, dark case colour that can be further enhanced with a number of complimentary colours.
COLORBOND® steel
Ironstone®
COLORBOND® steel
Monument®
COLORBOND® steel
Woodland Grey®
COLORBOND® steel
Wallaby®
COLORBOND® steel
Dune®

Shale Grey®
COLORBOND® steel
Surfmist®
Ironstone
Ironstone is a deeper grey colour than Basalt but with a blue undertone to make it appear cooler in contrast. It's excellent if you want to add a pop of very subtle colour into your shed design, as it's not quite such a flat grey as Basalt.
Monument
Monument can be used to create a dramatic and even darker appearance for your shed, with a charcoal grey base which is much darker than Basalt. This is a great option if you want your shed to have a modern, monotone look without becoming too much of a focal point.
Woodland grey
Woodland grey is only one or two shades darker than Basalt, so it's another good option for the monotone look that still offers three-dimensional properties. Accenting your Basalt shed with Woodland grey can make its features pop without becoming too apparent to passersby.
Wallaby
Wallaby is another neutral grey and is very similar to Basalt, although a little lighter in tone. This is a good colour if you want to brighten your Colorbond steel shed without using too much of a contrasting colour.
Dune
The earthy tones of Dune pair perfectly with Basalt and give the appearance of sand and stone, which can work really well to create a natural-looking focal point. Both Dune and Basalt have cooler undertones, making them sit well next to each other while brightening up the deep grey construction.
Shale grey
Shale grey is a modern light grey colour that can add a pop of brightness to Basalt without making your shed overly colourful and bright. Shale grey is a good choice for a contrasting look without straying away from a monotone vibe.
Surfmist
Similar to Dune, Surfmist is a lighter cream colour that works very well with the earthy colour story Basalt offers. This is the lightest complimentary colour for Basalt's mineral tones, so it's a great option if you're hoping to lighten up the shed and create a contrasting look between light and dark.
