Reveal the colours of nature
– Akutex™ FT colour collection While developing this new colour collection, we
approached a group of European interior designers,
architects and textile designers, all of whom have
inspired us in our choice of colours and their suitability
for ceilings.The result is a captivating collection in which
nature plays a major part.
Nine carefully selected shades that bring to mind images of
open meadows, summer sunshine, frosty winter mornings,
rocks and sandy shores make up the collection: Reveal the
colours of nature.
The basis of the collection is the unique surface, Akutex FT. In addition to its superior acoustic properties, the surface is
smooth with an attractive look. It is, in other words, a perfect
base for these delightful colours.
Nine colours, once source of inspiration
Photographer: Patrick Klemm Pale Garden
Pale Garden has been inspired by the early mist of an autumn morning.
A light blue tone that creates a feeling of space and tranquillity in the room.
Misty Rose
The pale pink shades of a beautiful sunset gave the inspiration for Misty Rose.A
mild, romantic colour that is both warm and inviting.
Volcanic Dust
A subtle, ash grey tone that frames the room perfectly. This smokey grey is based
on the unique nature of a volcanic landscape. Vanilla Dream
Vanilla Dream has been inspired by the creamy beige of vanilla. A shade
reminiscent of summer-ripe fields basking in brilliant sunshine.
Pure Olive
Pure Olive is a shade inspired by the muted greens of olive leaves. A calm,
powder-green tone that works perfectly as a mild, accent colour.
Soft Slate
A graphite grey tone to give the room a dramatic, stylish look.
Inspired by bare, stony shores and rocky coastlines.
Silent Sand
Silent Sand brings to mind the image of untouched sand on a beach. A cool,
light brown tone to give the room an elegant feel.
Silver Shadow
Inspired by early morning sun playing on the water. A shade that works well asa
mild accent in the room.

White Frost
White, sheer, smooth, stylish. A shade that conjures up an image of
newly-fallen snow.
Choosing a colour
The way we perceive a colour depends on many things. The
room’s lighting is important, as is the structure of painted
surfaces. The planned colour can look quite different in
daylight than in artificial light. How the light falls on the
surface is also a factor. Akutex™ FT is a smooth surface that
contributes to a visually harmonious feel while also providing
several acoustic benefits.
Akutex FT’s colour collection includes light, powdery nuances
as well as darker, accent colours. This allows the creation of
different impressions in the room. Light shades make the room
seem bigger, while a dark tone creates a more intimate feel.
Warm colours give an impression of cosiness,with cooler
tones producing a calmer atmosphere.
By combining the different shades or by creating separate
fields of colour, there are endless possibilities for bringing
a room to life. In Reveal the colours of nature we have made
the most of this and can therefore offer cool as well as warm
shades for combination to the best effect.

The colour reproductions indicate the colours and finishes available. We can, however, also provide samples as required.
We recommend that you examine any samples before placing an order. Colours may vary between and within batches so,
for best results, we recommend when you have opened the packages that you sort the panels colour-wise.
