"Loft® is a rich, deep brown colour with a slight aubergine overtone. It was inspired by the original slate colours found on early church roofs and on the roofs of Victorian schools and houses. The colour inspiration was also influenced by our unique landscape; the large rocky outcrops and boulders from the centre of our continent, the bark found on ancient gum trees and the long shadows that the inland ranges cast. It has an aged characteristic, yet is thoroughly modern." The colorbond site does indeed make Loft appear as aubergine/eggplant more than choclolate brown. But, I've seen a new spec home in Loft at various times of the day.....It is indeed a deep chocolate brown but at sunset we noticed that the aubergine comes through much more. So yes, you are all correct and no one is going color blind, lol. Loft is a bit like a camelion (sp?) .....and l like that Re: Anyone built with "Ripponlea" Boral Bricks? 24Dec 04, 2010 4:54 pm Hi We are building a house soon and we are looking at using rippponlea bricks.
