Atelier Collection – Solstice
Solstice, longest daylight of the year and highest position of the sun in the sky, embodies a feeling that the best days are yet on the horizon—days radiant with sunshine and celebration, cultivation and festivity. This color, inspired by that feeling, is a raw natural that gleams at the true center of our Atelier spectrum, […]
Atelier Collection – Alpenglow
(Formerly Driftwood Natural) At DUCHATEAU we have perfected a signature weathered look in our Atelier line. Alpenglow is a clear natural color that reflects the surrounding colors beautifully, like the way sunlight is cast on a mountain at sunrise and sunset. The color doesn’t cast olive or yellow but retains a nuanced balance of tones as […]
Atelier Collection – Nocturne
(Formerly Diablo Formula) Nocturne is a deep black, suggestive of a moonless night. Like Chopin’s musical compositions inspired by nighttime, this color is emotional and atmospheric. Click here to find us in BIMObject.
Atelier Collection – Dusk
(Formerly Burnt Oak Formula) At DUCHATEAU we have perfected a signature weathered look in our Atelier line. Dusk is a full grey color in twilight as it merges into the dark of night. A deep color that is neither blue nor purple, but a long shadow. The grey tones remind us of ash and driftwood […]
Atelier Collection – Eventide
(Formerly Golden Eye Formula) At DUCHATEAU we have perfected a signature weathered look in our Atelier line. Eventide is a rich brown informed by darkness in the grain. The color speaks to that special moment after a sunset when the sky begins to fade towards dusk. The blending of lights and darks is what makes this […]
Atelier Collection – Golden Hour
At DUCHATEAU we have perfected a signature weathered look in our Atelier line. Golden Hour is a warm brown, evocative of that final glimpse of the setting sun. A color that has a richness to give it vibrancy and depth, blending darks to avoid going too orange. Click here to find us in BIMObject.
Atelier Collection – Sea Brume
(Formerly Seasmoke Formula) At DUCHATEAU we have perfected a signature weathered look in our Atelier line. Seabrume is mysterious and evocative, and the color is a layering of the deep ocean darks, the swell of currents, and a layer of hazy mist on the surface. It is a color of grand gestures, of seafaring adventures. Click […]
Atelier Collection – Sun Glint
(Formerly Bone Formula) At DUCHATEAU we have perfected a signature weathered look in our Atelier line. Sun Glint has a radiance that shines from within. We are inspired by optical phenomena in the natural world and this color reminds us of when sunlight dances upon the surface of water. The warm golden tones cast a […]
Atelier Collection – Salt Air
(Formerly Chalet Formula) At DUCHATEAU we have perfected a signature weathered look in our Atelier line. Salt Air is a color enriched by the white embedded in the grain, like the tang of salt in the ocean’s spray. The color of the wood is reminiscent of buoyant driftwood, sunbaked and smoothed by the rolling of […]
Atelier Collection – Echoes
(Formerly Iceblink or Driftwood Grey) At DUCHATEAU we have perfected a signature weathered look in our Atelier line. Echoes is inspired by the natural occurrence of an Iceblink, the reflection of light on an icefield appearing on the horizon, reflected on low clouds. The white is more transparent than Coast Fog, allowing more grain to shine […]
Atelier Collection – Coast Fog
(Formerly Driftwood White) Coast Fog is a white reminiscent of the low-lying dense summer fog that hugs the California coast, a fog that is the outcome of the cold ocean contrasted against a warm air. We look for that perfect shade of white that avoids going pink or yellow. Light wire brushing brings out the […]
Atelier Collection – Aether
The ancient Greeks saw the realm above the clouds as Aether, a place of bright and pure air. We developed this floor color in search of a beige unclouded and free of surface haze, blending a flow of tones into a subtler, softer shade. The composition we seek is without grey, pink, or yellow, but […]
