Autex: Bringing the feel of nature into learning spaces: Meet new colours Petra, Marina, and Park

Autex Acoustics® specialise in carbon neutral acoustic solutions for the built environment, creating sustainable environments that support wellbeing, productivity, and creative expression.

Colour is playing an increasingly important role in shaping how students learn, connect, and feel. Educators and designers are moving away from stark, institutional palettes in favour of softer, nature-inspired tones that support wellbeing, foster engagement, and create a stronger sense of belonging.

Reflecting this shift, in addition to the recent mottled greys of Rushmore and Colosseum, Autex Acoustics® has introduced three new colours to its wider palette: Petra, Marina, and Park. Together, they form part of a collection of organic, muted tones inspired by architecture and connected to nature, designed to help create learning environments that feel more grounded, welcoming, and human-centred.

• Marina, a soft powder blue inspired by the Marina Bay Sands Towers, brings a sense of calm and openness to interiors. Its light, airy character helps create bright and balanced spaces that support focus and concentration
• Park, a light earthy green inspired by One Central Park, introduces warmth, vitality, and a strong connection to nature. Ideal for education settings, its grounded quality aligns with the growing demand for biophilic design and wellbeing-focused learning environments
• Petra, a muted clay red inspired by the ancient city of Petra in Jordan, adds understated warmth and richness. It brings depth and character to communal spaces, encouraging connection while maintaining a refined, contemporary aesthetic

Available across Autex Acoustics’ carbon neutral wall and ceiling products, these new colours expand design possibilities while supporting the creation of learning environments that prioritise comfort, connection, and wellbeing.
