Planium Oxidized Steel, the Brown Color that Hides the Cold Shades of Gray

the Brown Color that Hides the Cold Shades of Gray

Planium Oxidized Steel is very unique due to its color, which stands out immediately; this is because its dominant color refers to two warm metals, it is placed in the vicinity of Copper, Bronze: yet this metal, being a Steel, despite having a burnished character that brings it closer to autumnal tones, still contains within itself the silvery chromatic nuances "Cold". More precisely, this steel has a color that is close to the tones of the Bistre, Dark Brown or Cassel Earth: for this reason many people mistakenly mistake it for Bronze. This metal is obtained through electrolysis processes carried out on the surface of stainless steels. Depending on the treatments that Planium reserves for it, the light and materiality of this metal change and with them also the colors of the textures: for this reason, a color that turns on shades of brown actually hides a return of "cold" accents, which give it a double connotation.

Brushed, Satin, Canvas: Three Textures with Notable Differences and Their Own Character

Of all the Planium metals, Oxidized Steel is the one that differs most in the brushing and satin finishing processes (from which the cloth is then obtained); it is as if each texture were a collector's sample different from the others, with its own defined character.

In the "brushed" version, some "stripes" of Anthracite color remain, a decidedly marked Gray. With the satin finish, the metal becomes more elegant and refined, more elaborate: the colors are lighter overall, marked by a meticulous vertical motion, even a little severe, and the colors settle on the Chestnut or Trunk. With the double satin finish you get a metal "canvas": in this case the Graphite gray is visible even from a distance, so much so that the color of the texture is disputed between this color and the brown ...

Oxidized Steel Embellishes Every Surface

On the floor or as a wall covering, the textures of Oxidized Steel enrich every surface with character. This is because, as we said before, from a material point of view this finish is among the most refined of Planium. Much appreciated are the hexagons in Oxidized Steel, which can be combined with the wall alternating with hexagons in cold colors - for example in Stainless Steel - but this alternation can be valid, with an even more marked aesthetic sense, even for coatings that use thin rectangular slabs to enhance the verticality when placed in height, the horizontality if considered in width, to define and refresh the walls ...
