Perlata: A New Collection
A REFRESHED RANGE OF 60 COLOURS
Armourcoat has introduced a new colour palette for Perlata, bringing together 60 carefully considered colours in a more focused and versatile collection.
Known for its subtle pearlescent quality, Perlata is applied by hand in multiple layers, creating depth, movement and gentle shifts in tone as light changes across the surface.
The new palette retains 45 established Perlata colours alongside 15 new additions, introducing fresh creative possibilities while making colour selection simpler. Together, the 60 colours form a refined collection designed to complement the distinctive character of the finish.
Here, we answer some of the key questions about the new palette and what has changed.
What’s new about the Perlata colour palette?
The previous collection of 96 colours has been refined to a palette of 60 shades, making colour selection simpler while retaining the breadth and character of Perlata.
Will the 45 retained colours keep the same names and reference numbers?
The 45 retained colours keep their existing names, making familiar shades easy to recognise within the new collection. Their reference numbers have changed to reflect their position within the updated colour guide. For example, 001 Raw Silk is now 031 Raw Silk.
