LaHabra offers two main color collections for their cement-based and acrylic stucco finishes: Standard Colors and Premium Colors. These options provide a wide range of hues, from traditional neutrals to more vibrant, modern tones, ensuring there’s something for every style and project.
The Standard Colors consist of popular, time-tested shades, while the Premium Colors include a curated selection of more unique options for those looking to make a statement. Both collections are designed to work with LaHabra’s cement-based and acrylic finishes, offering flexibility and consistency across different finish types.
Below, you’ll find a detailed color chart showcasing the available Premium and Standard colors, making it easy to explore your options and choose the right shade for your project.
Understanding LaHabra’s Premium & Standard Stucco Color Chart:
LaHabra’s stucco color chart is a helpful tool for selecting the perfect color for your project. Here’s a breakdown of the key components you might be wondering about:
Color Swatches:
Each square on the chart represents a specific color, giving you a visual reference for what the approximate color will look like.
These swatches are designed to closely match the final appearance of the stucco under standard conditions, but it’s always a good idea to order a physical sample for accuracy.
A Word of Caution...
While the chart offers a close approximation, slight variations may occur due to differences in base materials or site-specific conditions.
For this reason, it’s always recommended to order a physical sample of the chosen color or have one applied (on-site) to a wall before ordering large amounts of material.
A physical sample allows you to see the exact shade and how it interacts with your chosen texture, as well as the surrounding environment, ensuring you achieve the desired result you had in mind. This step is especially important for larger projects or when matching existing stucco colors.
Color Names and Reference Numbers:
Each color on LaHabra’s stucco color chart is accompanied by a name and a unique reference number, providing an easy and precise way to identify and communicate your color choices.
- Color Name: Each swatch includes a name (e.g., "Santa Fe" or "Adobe"), making it easy to communicate your choice.
- Reference Number: Below the name, a unique identifier (e.g., X-53, P-1210 or 81585) is listed. This ensures accuracy when ordering colors and maintains consistency and compatibility across different LaHabra finishes.
Base Types:
Each color on LaHabra’s chart is designated as requiring either a light base or a dark base, which plays a critical role in achieving the correct depth and tone of the final color.
- Light Base: A lighter base provides a neutral starting point for pigments, allowing brighter and softer tones to develop. Colors mixed with a light base tend to reflect more light, which helps achieve airy, pastel, or warm shades commonly used in traditional and modern designs.
- Dark Base: A darker base intensifies the pigments, creating richer, deeper hues. These colors often have a stronger presence and are ideal for earth tones, bold designs, or creating contrast with lighter elements in a project.
These designations are crucial for ensuring the proper blending of pigments with the base material to achieve the exact color shown on the chart.
Each base—light or dark—serves as the foundation for the pigments, impacting how the final color appears once applied and dried.
Premium and Standard Labels
LaHabra organizes these colors into Premium and Standard categories, highlighting the difference between unique, vibrant shades and timeless, widely-used options to suit a variety of project styles.
- Premium Colors: These shades are specially made to offer more vibrant, distinct, and unique tones, making them ideal for projects that aim to stand out or achieve a more modern, more customized look.
Premium colors often include bolder or more nuanced pigments, giving them a richness and depth that adds a striking aesthetic appeal. They are perfect for architectural designs that require a touch of individuality or for clients seeking a more sophisticated finish. - Standard Colors: These hues are time-tested, versatile, and widely recognized as traditional stucco options. They cater to a broad range of styles and are particularly well-suited for classic or understated designs.
Standard colors typically include neutral tones and softer shades that harmonize with a variety of building materials and environments. These colors are a go-to choice for projects that prioritize consistency, simplicity, and timeless appeal.
Notes or Disclaimers
Many color charts include important notes to guide users in achieving the best results with their chosen colors.
For instance, the colors displayed on the chart are carefully optimized for viewing under specific conditions, such as standardized lighting or digital screens.
They may vary slightly when applied to a surface due to factors like lighting, texture, or the base material used. This variation can also occur depending on whether the finish is cement-based or acrylic, as these materials can influence how the pigments interact with light.
Because of these potential differences, manufacturers strongly recommend testing a sample on-site before committing to an entire project. Testing allows you to see how the color looks in its intended environment, accounting for variables like natural light, shadows, and surrounding elements.
This step ensures satisfaction with the final appearance and minimizes the risk of surprises or costly adjustments later.
