Design your Deep Ocean Colorbond® shed with shed designer.

What is Deep Ocean?

Deep Ocean is a deep, rich marine blue from the Colorbond® steel range, drawn from the colour of Australian coastal water at depth. It's one of the rarer feature colours in the palette, picked when a buyer wants a true blue rather than the green-shifted Bluegum or the cool-grey Wallaby. Deep Ocean reads bold, confident, and unmistakably coastal.

Why Deep Ocean works

Deep Ocean is a feature colour. It works on coastal builds where the colour echoes the surrounds, on commercial buildings wanting a strong brand finish, and on residential builds where the owner is willing to commit to a non-default look. Deep Ocean has a solar absorptance of 0.74 (BlueScope SteelSelect data), among the highest in the range, so insulation matters more on a Deep Ocean shed (raise R-value with your dealer at design stage). The result is a building that stands apart without going dark grey.

Garages and commercial sheds designed in Deep Ocean

Deep Ocean is often a brand-led or feature pick. Typical pairings:

• Double garages on coastal residential blocks
• Warehouse sheds where Deep Ocean carries a brand colour
• Large sheds anchoring a commercial frontage
• Modern shouses with Surfmist trim for high-contrast coastal styling
• Covers and shelters at sailing clubs, beach pavilions and aquatic centres

Colours that pair with Deep Ocean

For roof and trim, Deep Ocean pairs cleanly with Surfmist (the cleanest coastal contrast), Dover White (sharp modern pairing), Shale Grey (low-contrast tonal pairing), and Classic Cream (warmer heritage-leaning contrast).

Why Colorbond® steel?

Every Deep Ocean wall and roof sheet on a ShedDesigner build is 100% Australian-made BlueScope Colorbond® steel, rolled to AS 1397 and backed by a BlueScope warranty of up to 15 years against corrosion to perforation for shed and garage applications (check your build on BlueScope's warranty estimator). The configurator sends your finished design to ShedSafe accredited dealers for quoting: one design, multiple quotes.
