Northwest: The Regional Colors

In the wooded hills bordering the Cascade mountain range, Black Diamond's roots beckon back to the mining days of 1880. Today the quaint berg is home to a growing number of people who have relocated to the area to enjoy the serenity of nature.

Black Diamond becomes a rich, velvety black.

Redstone Peak, at 5,720 feet, is a remarkable jagged rock formation on the remote north side of 14,410-foot Mount Rainier. During certain parts of the day the sun's reflection off the rock creates a stunning red hue.

Redstone appears as a deep wine red at first, darkening slightly while becoming warmer.

Green Mountain is located near Hood Canal in Olympic National Forest, bordering one of America's most remote and beautiful national parks known for its lush temperate rainforests and rugged Pacific coastline.

Begins a cool green-blue and develops into a warm, olive green.

Washington State's pristine San Juan Islands are known worldwide for their beauty with cold, crystal waters surrounding rocky shores and densely vegetated interiors. Yellow Island is a nature preserve that is home to a wide array of flora and fauna.

Similar in color to Baguette and r100 but lighter and more yellow in color.

Hidden deep in Wahsington's rugged Cascade mountain range, Chocolate Glacier is one of the main ice flows on Glacier Peak, a 10,541-foot volcano. Hiking to the glacier is a true wilderness experience with the closest road more than eight miles away.

Darkens to a rich brownish-black. NOW 100% RECYCLED.

Named for a natural blue haze that blankets the area, Blue Canyon is located on Lake Whatcom in northern Washington. An important region during the early 1900's, the town became deserted when the local coal mine closed in 1919 and is now classified as a semi-ghost town.

First appears as a dark cobalt blue and darkens toward navy, eventually becoming almost black.

Browns Point, best known for the historical lighthouse that guides ships through Commencement Bay, was first lit in 1887 (two years before Washington became a state). It was originally named "Point Brown" and the first resident keeper was coincidentally, Oscar Brown.

Starts off as a medium brown, aging into a leathery honey brown.

Captain Robert Gray, the first American to circumnavigate the globe, originally discovered Grays Harbor in 1792. This majestic deep water port links the Pacific Ocean to the enchanting Quinault Rain Forest.

Starts off dark grey, aging into a deep, gunmetal hue.
NOW 100% RECYCLED.

r50 is made with fifty percent old corrugated cardboard (post consumer waste) collected from recycle bins and then returned as a durable and unique surface material.

Starts as a medium brown, aging into a warm, honey-brown - similar to Browns Point. You can differentiate this color by noticing the small specks common to recycled paper.

r100 is made with one hundred percent recycled paper (post consumer waste) collected from recycle bins and then returned as a durable and unique surface material.

Since the paper color is neutral, the color you see is purely a result of the resin. It first appears a pale, amber color and over time will darken to sienna, similar to an old fir floor.
