Dulux Avista & Nutech colour chart.
Every colour we seal driveways in across the Central Coast: the Dulux Avista range we use most, and the wider Nutech palette with its whites, greens and heritage reds. Tap any colour to see it bigger, then try it on a photo of your own driveway.
Screen colours are a guide. Every screen shows colour a little differently, and sealer looks different on a sunny driveway than on a phone. We bring physical samples and check the colour on your concrete on site before anything goes down.
Nutech Concrete Sealer

A wider palette, from soft whites and greys through to greens and heritage reds. The same two-coat colour seal, for when you want a shade outside the Dulux range.

Dulux Avista Colour Sealer
Dulux Avista colour chart
Our go-to range. A tinted concrete sealer that evens out faded, patchy concrete and stencil into one fresh colour, then protects it from UV, oil, salt and mould.

Dulux Avista or Nutech?
Same job either way. We clean and prep the concrete, then apply two heavy coats of colour seal. The range only changes which colours you can pick from.
Colours that appear in both ranges (Monument, Charcoal, Shale Grey, Gunmetal, Woodland Grey and Paperbark) look virtually the same in person, so pick the colour you love and we'll sort the product.
Picking a colour you'll still love in five years.
Dark or light?
Darker colours like Monument, Charcoal and Gunmetal look sharp and hide tyre marks and oil, but they get hotter underfoot in full sun and show dust and leaves. Lighter colours like Shale Grey and Paperbark stay cooler and make a driveway feel bigger, but show marks sooner.
Match the house
The easiest way to a colour that looks designed is to echo something already there: the Colorbond roof, fence, gutters or garage door, or the brick and render. A Monument roof and a Monument driveway tie the whole home together.
Stencil and pattern driveways
A colour seal goes over the whole surface in one colour. The pattern's texture stays, but a two-tone stencil becomes one even colour, so choose the colour for the house rather than trying to match the old stencil.
Going lighter takes more
Going darker over faded or light concrete covers evenly. Going lighter over a dark or blotchy slab can need extra coats to cover. We'll tell you on site what yours needs.
Monument
Over a faded red stencil
A new colour that won't peel.
Driveway paint sits on top of the concrete as a film. It can't breathe, so moisture pushes it off and it peels, flakes and lifts under sun, tyres and water.
A colour seal bonds into the surface and stays breathable. You get a fresh, even colour over tired, faded or patchy concrete, plus protection from UV, oil, salt and mould.
Colour questions.
Which Dulux Avista colours do you offer?+
We apply 19 Dulux Avista colours plus Clear, all shown on the chart above. The most popular are Monument, Silver Sands, Charcoal, Shale Grey and Gunmetal.
What's the difference between Dulux Avista and Nutech?+
Both are tinted concrete sealers we apply the same way: a thorough clean and prep, then two heavy coats. Dulux Avista is our go-to range. Nutech has a wider palette, including whites, greens and heritage reds, so we use it when you want a colour the Dulux range doesn't have.
What's the most popular driveway colour?+
Dark greys and charcoals. Monument, Charcoal and Gunmetal look modern, hide tyre marks and oil, and suit most homes. Silver Sands and Shale Grey are the popular lighter picks.
Are the colours on screen accurate?+
They're a close guide, but every screen shows colour differently and sealer looks different on a sunny driveway than on a phone. We bring physical samples and check the colour against your concrete on site before anything goes down.
Will a colour seal peel like driveway paint?+
No. Paint sits on top of the concrete as a film and can't breathe, so moisture pushes it off and it peels. A colour seal bonds into the surface and stays breathable, which is why it holds up to sun, tyres and water.
Can I go lighter than my driveway's current colour?+
Yes, though going lighter over a dark or patchy slab can take extra coats to cover evenly. Going darker covers most easily. We'll tell you on site what your concrete needs.
Can I keep my concrete's natural colour?+
Yes. That's what Clear (wet look) is for: it protects the concrete and gives its own colour a richer, wet look, without adding a tint.
