Coral Proteção Sol & Chuva Egyptian Cotton: Soft Tone for Residential Facades
Egyptian Cotton brings a soft beige to Coral's waterproof exterior paint line, for residential facades. See coverage, VOC and technical specification.
Residential projects looking for a discreet facade, without the strong contrast of a pure white or the visual weight of dark tones, often land on a soft beige like Egyptian Cotton within the Coral Proteção Sol & Chuva palette. The waterproofing performance behind that color choice, protection against infiltration, cracks, algae and mold, stays the same across the line.
