Colors lend rooms a distinctive atmosphere, and a successful color concept makes all the difference. Finding individually pleasing as well as functional color combinations for a wide range of interior and exterior tasks is often a challenge.

Matching light grays to anthracite, wood and concrete colors represent the second color in each concept. Building on these, designers will find warm and cool, light and shady, barely colorful to more colorful combinations that match every modern style of design.
