StoColor System, the most complete color offer on the market for limitless architectural design

The manufacturer specializing in exterior thermal insulation and facade embellishment thus confirms its expertise in design and architecture.

1.000 facade colors offered by the fan color chart for endless possibilities

The new StoColor color system helps construction professionals choose the optimal color combinations for all their projects, thanks to a meticulous and complete selection of shades.

The fan color chart is made up of 1.000 shades specially designed for facade paints and plasters (compared to 300 previously), applicable to almost all Sto's ITE systems. In addition to this facade color chart, there are 225 colors dedicated to interiors, not to mention more than 200 lacquer colors for wood and metals, and 38 wood stain colors.

For Sylvie Da Lage, StoDesign manager at Sto France: “In total, more than 1.400 shades are available for use in architectural design: this is the richest offer currently available on the market. With the new StoColor System, it is now possible to carry out a project from A to Z in its entirety with a single resource with unlimited perspectives. »

A redesigned structure for simply obvious use

The color organization system is based on 72 chromatic levels, distributed on the circle according to the primary colors yellow, red and blue, which allow specific gradations of hues, composed of more or less luminous and more or less saturated colors. Added to these ranges are neutral and natural tones, whites, blacks, neutral and colored grays very suitable for architecture, as well as 65 colors historically or culturally recognized or specific to a material: French ocher, Egyptian blue, Sienna…

The methodical approach emphasizing the customer experience results in an intelligent and easy-to-use color selection and organization. Each shade has a reference indicating its position in the chromatic space and is completed with all the information regarding luminosity, feasibility and price category.

Supports and tools to facilitate the choice

As a historical partner of building professionals, Sto facilitates implementation in the field by offering a variety of practical tools. Material supports, some with a matte and grained appearance to faithfully reproduce the rendering of the coating, others with a smooth and matte appearance for the interior colors, are thus offered to project owners and to the architects:

• a fan color chart dedicated to the 1.000 colors for the facade,
• an "Edition" box, containing the entire StoColor offer organized into 6 thematic ranges,
• an A6 box containing 1.000 individual sheets for facade tints, the ideal tool for colorists and specialists.

It is also thanks to digital technology that the company supports professionals. The StoColor System color chart can be freely downloaded in digital format, and used in design software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or SketchUp. In addition, the final choices are supplemented by material samples in A4 format.
