Finishes & Colour Samples

In the Finish tab of the studio's left-hand menu you choose the wood and hardware, and set a finish colour for each part — frame, stiles & rails, slats and faces. It works the same in all seven engines, and the finish you choose is reflected in the estimate right away. Every colour you can pick is shown below.

The Finish tab — Wood and Hardware, Part to colour (Frame, Stile & rail, Slat, Face), Basic finishes, and the water-based (AURO 560) and oil-based (AURO 930) stain swatches, with the slats and stiles painted AURO 560 navy on the canvas

Using the Finish Tab

  1. Open the Finish tab in the left-hand menu.
  2. Choose the Wood and Hardware. If you don't need hardware, choose No hardware.
  3. Under Part to colour, click one of Frame · Stile & rail · Slat · Face. If you click a colour without picking a part first, a hint appears.
  4. Click a colour among the Basic finishes or the stain swatches and that part is painted right away. Clicking a colour also selects the finish it belongs to.
  5. Switch parts and paint the rest the same way. The name of the selected part's colour is shown just below the part buttons.
Pick Face and click a colour to turn on Paint face color. Click cells in the drawing to paint just those cells; right-click erases. Painting switches off automatically when you leave the Finish tab.
A door has one finish type. Each part can have its own colour, but clicking a colour from a different stain switches the finish type, and parts you've already painted change to the nearest colour in that stain. Choosing perilla oil or the oil finish paints the frame, stiles & rails and slats in a single oil colour and clears face colours.

Colour Samples

All the colours offered in the Finish tab. The code under each colour name is the manufacturer's (AURO) colour code the workshop uses when finishing.

Colours look different from screen to screen, and the real colour varies with the wood, its grain and the number of coats. If exact colour matters, ask for a physical sample in the notes of your quote request.
