Design your Surfmist Colorbond® shed with shed designer.

What is Surfmist?

Surfmist is a cool, light near-white from the Colorbond® steel range. It carries a soft grey undertone, more crisp morning sky than warm cream. Surfmist sits at the light, cool end of the standard 22-colour palette and is a familiar sight across coastal builds and modern suburban developments.

Why Surfmist works

Surfmist sits at the cool, light end of the palette. It has a solar absorptance of 0.33 (BlueScope SteelSelect data), level with Classic Cream and behind only Dover White in the standard range, which keeps internal temperatures down through hot Australian summers and reduces cooling load on insulated builds. It pairs cleanly with almost anything. Surfmist works on contemporary homes, modern garages, large commercial facades, and any build where a clean, fresh look beats a warmer traditional palette.

Garages and sheds designed in Surfmist

Surfmist suits buyers who want their build to read modern, light, and clean. Typical design pairings:

• Double garages on modern suburban blocks with Monument trim
• Single garages on coastal properties
• Modern shouses where Surfmist walls give a contemporary lift
• Factory sheds where high reflectance reduces summer cooling load
• Sport covers and shelters where light walls lift natural daylight

Colours that pair with Surfmist

For roof and trim, Surfmist pairs cleanly with Monument (the high-contrast modern classic), Basalt (sharp dark trim, contemporary feel), Wallaby (soft mid-grey, lower contrast), and Shale Grey (subtle tonal pairing).

Why Colorbond® steel?

Every Surfmist 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.
