Stone colour visualiser
Upload a photo or plan of the space, outline the patio, pick a stone and see a 2D idea of the finished layout. Partners can use it with their own clients to agree a colour before ordering.
Your image stays in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. The result is an indicative picture: real stone varies from slab to slab, so always view a sample before you order.

How to use it
- Upload a plan, sketch, aerial image or photo of the space.
- Set the scale. Choose "Set scale", click two points that you know the distance between (for example the width of the house), then enter that distance in metres.
- Outline the patio. Click each corner. Click the first point again, or press "Close shape", to finish. You can draw more than one area.
- Add tree shade where trees or the house shade the patio. Set the radius in metres.
- Pick a stone, laying pattern, slab size and angle. Patterns include project pack, running bond, third bond, stack bond, herringbone, basket weave and a circle feature. Use a 45° angle for diagonal herringbone.
- Compare and test. Switch on "Show wet stone" to see how colours darken in the rain, and use "Compare with" to see two stones one above the other.
- Save the image and send it to your client, or send it to us with your enquiry.

For partners. Use this tool in meetings with your clients to narrow the choice quickly, then order samples of the shortlisted stones. See the partner programme.
Good to know
- Colours on screen are approximate and vary with your display. The picture uses our standard colour families for each stone. Natural stone varies from slab to slab and pack to pack.
- The pattern shows slab sizes to scale, but it does not plan cuts, edges or wastage. Use the paving calculator for quantities.
- This tool is a visual aid. It is not a design, a quote or a structural drawing.
