Why colour matters in Sarawak

☀️ UV fading & heat

Tropical sun fades light pastels faster than dark colours, and matte finishes hold tone longer. We recommend a premium paint with UV inhibitors — and confirm the fade and UV rating against the manufacturer's specification.

Design recommendationA general tendency, not a guarantee — real fade depends on exposure, sheen and the paint's UV inhibitors; confirm against the product specification.

💧 Humidity & mildew

High humidity grows mildew on porous surfaces — moisture control and a fungicidal paint matter far more than the colour. Cooler greens and greys simply show early bloom less; the protection is in the coating and the ventilation, not the hue. Specify a fungicidal paint in bathrooms and kitchens.

Design recommendationMildew resistance comes from fungicidal paint, not the colour — the colour part is an aesthetic lean.

🎨 Visual thermal load

Dark walls absorb heat psychologically (& physically in direct sun). Cool palettes (blues, greys, pale greens) reduce the sensation of heat. Light ceilings brighten dark rooms.

Industry standardSolar gain on a dark surface in direct sun is physical; the 'cooler' feel of a cool palette is perceptual.

Figures are planning guidance, not warranties. Real performance depends on the product, its installation and the site's exposure; the product datasheet and site measurement confirm it.
