Colour is an essential element in the design of architectural spaces. An essential feature of matter that surrounds us that, by constantly relating to the light, often produces effects at the base of the first qualitative evaluation of the space and of the places in which we live and it is a decisive factor in the formation of mental maps and selection and recognition processes of spaces.

Pratic has dedicated investments and research to the theme of the architectural use of color: in our inner environmentally friendly painting plant we can paint our outdoor structures in 38 different colors, carefully selected to create comfort and well-being also visually.

We know with certainty, in fact, that color has important repercussions in the psychophysical well-being of human beings: Lively Colors represents the neuroscientific research that we have carried out through the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia and Iulm of Milan and brings out surprising results, making us reflect on an aspect – the perception of color – which at first sight may appear immediate, but it is the fruit of an extremely complicated and assimilated process over millennia from the human brain.

TIGER colours

Pratic launched a new and wide portfolio of colours, divided into 6 different groups, inspired by the tints of nature.

Desaturation and heterogeneity are the features of the chosen tones, which give harmony to the outdoor structures placed in the surrounding space. The colours have been skillfully chosen in collaboration with prestigious architects and designers, oriented to the new trends.
