Commonly Asked Questions About Colour

Below are some commonly asked questions about colour.  If you have any further questions please contact us.

Why can't I find any mention of the COLORBOND® steel colour Wheat on your website?

Wheat is now discontinued as a standard colour. Suppliers are still able to order non-standard colour from us, although price surcharges and/or minimum order requirements may apply. Please see our Where to Buy page to find your nearest ten suppliers anywhere in Australia. This colour is  still available in our fencing range, however the colour name is specific to the fencing product range.   Harvest® is the fencing colour that matches the discontinued COLORBOND® steel colour Wheat. Please view information on Fencing range including the warranty.

Will COLORBOND® steel fade?

All coloured materials will change colour when exposed to UV light - the paint finish on your car, the clothes on your line, and so on. When it comes to steel building materials, the extent of colour change is influenced by factors such as the colour itself, the aspect, the design of the structure and the environment. Dark colours are inherently prone to more noticeable colour change than lighter colours. Individual perceptions also come into play. How you see colour can differ greatly to someone else.
