A Heightened Color Aesthetic

A stunning range of color characteristics come to life in this sophisticated collection of 240 colors!

Each of the 240 colors of Aura Color Stories is influenced by the light in a room, highlighting subtle undertones and color characteristics. Unlike conventional paint formulas, the Color Stories palette includes more than the traditional combination of three pigments; Color Stories incorporates five to seven pigments in each color. Color Stories also does not use any tints of gray or black. These colors have a greater clarity, purity and are richer than conventional colors because they are formulated with more pigments in very precise, exacting amounts.

The colors in this palette are best appreciated once the paint is applied and dried. They create depth, overtones, nuance and luminosity not found in ordinary paints. Lighting especially interacts with Color Stories colors  – natural morning light will affect it one way, artificial or indirect light another, causing the color to take on different characteristics and appearances throughout the day.

Because of these color shifts it is recommended that you test the actual paint color during various lighting conditions.
