Collection: CalceTerra Natural Sands Individual Colours

Calceterra Natural Sands Individual Colours

The 20 individual colours (see images below) are ground and processed natural pigments used to colour your chosen CalceTerra base.

They can be used on their own or mixed with one or more other colours as desired. See the Colour Chart showing 60 different combinations or you can also create your own bespoke formula.

Natural Sands can be added to CalceTerra Cotton, Linen, Jute and Hemp to obtain the 60 shades of the collection. These CalceTerra finishes can be protected using the natural sealer, Caseina, Opako or Invisibile.

These pigments are available in 100 or 300 gram tubs.

To colour CalceTerra

The colours of CalceTerra are obtained by adding Natural Sands, available in 20 different shades, to your chosen base. Each colour has its own name and code number, for example, 73 - Terra di Cipro.  

To achieve the 60 colours of the collection, please read the code correctly.

To read the colour chart, the product code is first for example, CT1, followed by a number which denotes the colour of Natural Sand, for example, 31. 

The colour code can consist of two numbers, for example CT1 31.73. In which case the quantity of natural sand pigment will be doubled.

Code Example: CT1 31.73
CT1 = Base CT 1 Texture Cotton
31 - Terra di Oltramare
73 - Terra di Cipro
