### Why Choose COLORBOND Matt Colours?
COLORBOND Matt colours deliver a sophisticated, contemporary look that’s different from standard finishes. The Matt surface softens harsh lines, reduces glare, and adds a subtle shimmer that’s more suede than metallic. Whether you’re after a bold statement or a warm, earthy vibe, there’s a Matt shade to match your vision.

### The Most Popular COLORBOND Matt Colours
#### 1. Monument® Matt
The go-to for architectural projects, Monument Matt is a deep, dark shade that’s almost black. It’s incredibly popular for standing seam cladding and pairs perfectly with modern designs. If you love a bold, dramatic look, this is the colour for you.
#### 2. Basalt® Matt
Basalt Matt is a versatile mid-tone grey with a beautiful, understated shimmer. It’s a favourite for both roofs and walls, and it works well with timber, concrete, and lighter greys. On my own home, I used both Basalt Matt and standard Basalt for a layered effect.
#### 3. Dune® Matt
Often overlooked, Dune Matt offers a soft, cappuccino-like tone that complements earthy palettes, timber, and concrete. It’s the modern answer to “Mission Brown”—a neutral that fits almost any style.
#### 4. Shale Grey™ Matt
Shale Grey Matt is the choice for those wanting a cement-inspired look. It’s lighter than Monument or Basalt and works beautifully with both dark and light accents. Many people mistake it for real cement at first glance!
#### 5. Surfmist® Matt
Surfmist Matt brings warmth to whites and off-whites, making it a popular choice for Hamptons or beach-inspired homes. The Matt finish cuts the clinical edge and adds a soft, inviting glow to any facade.
#### 6. Bluegum® Matt
Bluegum Matt is a recent addition, offering a cool, contemporary blue-grey. It’s perfect for those who want a subtle pop of colour with a high-end Matt effect.

### Insider Colour: Night Sky® Matt (Matt Black)
Here’s a secret for the true design enthusiasts—Night Sky Matt, also known as Matt Black, is available for those who want the deepest, richest black possible. It’s even darker than Monument Matt and is perfect for projects needing a true black finish. Want it? Just ask us at MyCladders—we can make it happen!

### Cleaning & Maintaining COLORBOND Matt Colours
Worried about fingerprints or marks? Don’t be. Cleaning COLORBOND Matt colours is simple:
– Use a soft “magic eraser” or white cleaning vinegar to remove smudges.
– Avoid harsh chemicals—just a gentle wipe-down keeps your Matt looking sharp.
– The end result is worth the little bit of extra care.

### Pro Tip: Matching Powder Coating
When ordering powder-coated accessories to match your COLORBOND Matt colours, ask for “flat” or “electro flat” finishes, not “Matt.” Flat has a lower gloss level (1-2%) and will blend better with your cladding or roofing.

### Why COLORBOND Matt Colours Are Worth It
Switching to Matt isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about elevating your project. Whether you’re using corrugated iron, standing seam, or any COLORBOND profile, the Matt finish instantly adds value and visual appeal.
