Powder Colors & Effects

Architectural Powder Colors and Effects

As well as technical performance, at IFS Coatings we understand ensuring the decorative properties of architectural projects is essential. With this in mind, we offer an extensive range of architectural powder colors and special effects for both interior and exterior architectural applications. Go to our architectural colors page here. See some of our RAL colors here. Learn about free custom color matching here. We have over 76,000 colors in our database! We can't put them all online, so contact us to ask for free sample panels in the colors you're looking for.

Traditional architectural colors such as grey, silver, bronze, black, white and beige and warm earthy tones, muted reds, greens and blues are all available and can be enjoyed as solid colors or with metallic sparkles added. Our metallic range features platinum, silver and champagne shades and our anodized effect colors are available in silvers, blue, bronze and gold shades. From matte to high gloss we can adjust the gloss of your coating, so whether it’s a flat black or a high gloss green simply let us know what you need. What’s more, sometimes super smooth just won’t do. There are a range of textures available to add a tactile dimension and an interesting look to your powder coating,

Our architectural color card  features 26 colors including solid shades, metallics and even anodized effect powders. However remember colors, and especially metallics, do not look the same online. Contact us to order your copy of our architectural card - it features real powder coated chips so you see exactly what the coating looks like. 

Custom powder colors

For both exterior and interior architectural powders, we know your project may need its own specific color palette. So we will work with you to make sure that the colors and effects are exactly what you need. Whether you want to match your shade to something else in your design, take a standard color and tweak it slightly, or you're simply looking to make a more environmentally responsible choice and want a powder version of a liquid coating, we are happy to help. Effects such as metallic and textures can also be added to any color. Talk to us about our custom color making capabilities.

With any coating, powder or liquid, there are some limitations on what is achievable at the higher levels of exterior durability. Quite simply, the pigments for some shades (for example, bright red) that will offer the durability required for these specifications, are not available. However there is a vast range of colors that are available and will meet the exterior durability demands all the way up to the AAMA 2605 specification. Similarly, not all gloss levels or metallic effects can be achieved at an AAMA 2605 level.  Talk to your IFS architectural advisor for advice.
