Choosing Fusion Colours – Difference Between Whites, Greys, Neutrals

Fusion Mineral Paint

Pinterest Pin for fusion colours guide

FAQ – WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE VARIOUS COLOUR SHADES IN THE FUSION RANGE?

I’m often asked about the differences in the Fusion colours if a customer is ordering online, especially with the whites, as it is a little more difficult to tell them apart unless they are side by side. Jennylyn from Fusion Mineral Paint has created these great videos showcasing the colours in the Fusion line and painting them out on pure white paper so you can see the true colour differences (note: videos don’t include some of the newer colours)

I have summarised descriptions of each colour above the videos. I hope you find this helpful in choosing the best colour for your needs.

We have each of these colour collages displayed in our product section, but having them side by side with similar colourings like this helps with deciding between the different hues.

** Australian painters, you can purchase any of these colours by clicking on the colour images of your choice to take you to the product.

Fusion Colours: Whites

Picket Fence (Michael Penney collection) – brightest white in the line.

Casement – more of a pure white with just the slightest hint of yellow.

Casement

Raw Silk – a warm old white with barely a hint of yellow and just a touch of grey. I’d consider this to be between Casement & Lamp White, but leaning closer to Casement.

Raw Silk

Limestone – off white with a stronger sense of yellow undertone.

Plaster – more yellow undertone than Limestone.

Champlain – neutral white, warm tone, hints of yellow and gray (one of the most popular in the line)

Pebble (Michael Penney Collection) – a chameleon colour with a couple of different undertones that often change with the lighting that is present in the room. soft hint of green, natural feel.

Pebble

Goddess Ashwagandha (Lisa Marie Holmes collection) – described by Fusion as “equal parts light, warm and airy, this particular shade is rooted in minimalism. A grounding neutral.” Slightly grayish brown in tone. Browner than Pebble, but grayer than Cathedral Taupe.

Cathedral Taupe – very subtle pink/purple undertones, not typically seen unless put side by side with white. By itself almost an off white/tan colour.

So there you go, I hope you find the colour you are looking for – if not, you know that you can create your own custom colour by blending any of the colours together – colour mixing is fun! Experiment, be creative.

Here are some Custom Colour combinations to start you on your way (scroll to the bottom section, click on a colour you like and write down the colour combination needed to create the colour you’ve selected. You can purchase these colours from your local Fusion retailer).

NOTE: This is not a full comprehensive colour guide of all the Fusion colours. For more information and a guide to Fusion’s colour range visit Fusion’s colour chart here.

OR: purchase one of our Real Colour Swatch Charts or Swatch Stick Sets.

Happy Painting,

Sharon.
