Colour Consulting for Fresnaye and Atlantic Seaboard Homes
By Fresnaye Painters - Expert advice from the professionals
Colour choice on a Fresnaye or Atlantic Seaboard property is one of the most consequential design decisions a homeowner makes. The extraordinary setting - ocean views, mountain backdrop, distinctive Cape light - demands colour that works with these elements rather than fighting them. Professional colour consulting is a worthwhile investment on properties of this value.
The Atlantic Seaboard Light
The light quality on the Atlantic Seaboard is distinctive - brilliant, clear and with a luminosity from the ocean that differs from anywhere else in Cape Town. Colours that look refined on a paint chip can look stark and hard in this light. Complex whites, warm off-whites with subtle undertones, and natural stone tones generally perform better than stark bright whites on Atlantic Seaboard exteriors. Bold colours work best as accents rather than on all four walls.
Heritage Colour Requirements
Heritage-designated Fresnaye and Green Point properties may have colour restrictions. A colour consultant who understands both Heritage Western Cape requirements and the character of Atlantic Seaboard architecture can develop a palette that is both compliant and beautiful.
