Paving block colours - grey, brown or graphite?
The choice of paving colour is of great importance for the aesthetics and functionality of the entire space around the house, garden or commercial buildings. Three basic shades are the most commonly chosen: grey, brown and graphite. Each has its own individual characteristics, which are worth exploring before making a decision.
Grey - neutrality and timeless style
Why grey?
It is one of the most versatile colours in exterior design. It suits any façade - whether modern or traditional.
- ✅ Versatility: perfectly harmonises with light-coloured plasterwork, wood and garden plants.
- ✅ Practicality: dirt and dust are less visible on grey pavers; resistant to discolouration from the sun.
- ✅ Application: Particularly suitable for driveways and terraces - does not heat up excessively in full sun.
Brown - warmth and natural effect
Why brown?
The brown paving is often reminiscent of wood or stone, giving the surroundings a friendly, rustic feel.
- ✅ Natural appearance: blends in well with the greenery and garden vegetation.
- ✅ Warm tones: recommended for lounge areas, e.g. around arbours, pergolas and terraces.
- ✅ Practicality: less dust-resistant than graphite, but still functional for everyday use.
Graphite - elegance and modernity
Why graphite?
The dark colour scheme gives the space a distinctive and modern feel.
- ✅ Modern elegance: particularly appreciated in minimalist, industrial and prestige projects.
- ✅ Dirt masking: the best choice in areas exposed to oil, mud or other stains - ideal for driveways.
- ✅ Contrasting connections: creates striking juxtapositions with light-coloured facades or intense greenery.
How do you match the colour of the pavers to the surroundings?
When choosing, it is worth bearing in mind a few principles:
- Consistency with the environment
The paving should blend in with the building facade, the colour of the roof and the greenery of the garden. - Colour moderation
For harmony, it is best to limit yourself to 2-3 colours. Too many shades can introduce visual chaos. - Viewing samples in natural light
The colour of the cube can vary depending on the lighting. It is worth checking how it presents itself at different times of the day.
