The Fermob colour chart
Why Colour? Back in 1996 drab garden furniture in white and racing green was still the norm. But along came Fermob to change all that. They blazed a trail and set the trend, ripping up the rulebook and bringing colour into the garden. With that came their trademark joie de vivre - and furniture suddenly became something to smile about.
Ever since then, they have been unveiling new tones year on year. Each one as cheeky and impudent as the next. Because at Fermob, they think in colour - stunning, carefully crafted, intelligent, graphic, stylish, design-inspired colour that embodies culture and appeal. Why? Because colour - trendy, coordinated combinations in monochrome palettes that complement on another - is what brings spaces to life.
At Fermob, each and every colour is fun, chic and one of a kind. That's how Fermob express their personality and it's how you make a starement about yours.
New Colours For 2019
Acapulco Blue The new Acapulco blue colour offers unparalleled subtley. Bright when outdoors, deep when inside, it evokes a whole range of universes, the ocean, the jungle, warm exoticism or even a frozen desert. Mysterious & soothing, Acapulco blue brings new perspectives to the Fermob colour chart. In conjunction with shades of green or blue, it brings soft harmonies to the garden. This new, deep colour will bring our gardens a refreshing intensity.
New Colours For 2019
Red Ochre Organic earth: the power of the elements,. Red Ochre decorates furniture with a fiery temperament. It is a volcanic but wise natural, ancient colour.
Its elegance chimes with the present-day trend for returning to the roots and the land. A powdery, authentic, glowing hue, it adds a touch of spice to the warm tones in the Fermob colour chart.
Colour Theory Warm Shades Warm shades tend to advance towards the viewer, bringing things closer. Warm colours can be used strategically to help a large space seem smaller and more intimate, effectively warming it up.
Cool Shades Cooler darker colours will make things look further away, so placing darker blue or deep green on a boundary can make a small space look larger. Cool colours and pastel hues are calm and soothing or give a sense of security – Cedar Green, Deep Blue, Acapulco Blue, Plum, etc.
Perception
Seen from indoors bolder colours can draw the eye to the outside or, conversely, with more restrained palettes that might match some of your interior furnishings, you can make it seem like one seamless space.
Drawing the Eye You can trick the eye using well-established colour theories. Some examples: using a coloured item to create a focal point; leading the eye to a pleasant view or to a special place in the garden like a sitting area.
