FINDING THE BRIGHTEST WHITES
It is no secret that the most popular conversion decor is white, and whilst each Material folder has different white shades, for the brightest, use OPAQUE - Car solid paint white
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL WOOD DIRECTIONS
If you have found a wood option that you like, but the panels run vertically, and you need horizontally for walls, pick a light-coloured base wood and create the colour choice using a hex code.
WOOD - Tongue groove painted wood siding + apply hex code
USE HEX CODES
With over 16 million hex codes available, you will likely find any shade of wood or other texture needed with some searching.
Select a base material in the software, add your chosen hex code and create the perfect combination.
The best thing to do here is google hex codes as there are thousands of sites out there; you can even google specific texture hex codes!
We can not recommend particular sites, but here are some examples of google searches we frequently make
- Woodgrain hex codes
- Metallic hex codes
- Hex colour palettes
- Pastel hex codes
