The New Sydney Harour Paint Company x Porter’s Original Paints Fan Deck: 300 Colors, Perfectly Organized

The new Porter’s Original Paints Color Library Fan Deck is a smarter, more refined way to work with color.

Instead of overwhelming you with endless options, this system delivers 300 expertly curated paint colors—organized into five intuitive color groupings that make selection faster, clearer, and more intentional.

And in the United States, this exact same Porter’s product is available through Sydney Harbour Paint Company, the official U.S. arm of Porter’s. Same colors, same finishes, same brand—just locally available.

The 5 Color Groupings

Each grouping is designed to reflect how designers actually think about color in real spaces:

1. Greens & Blues

Fresh, calming, and architectural.
These tones range from soft sage and eucalyptus to deep navy and moody teal—perfect for creating depth, tranquility, and timeless interiors.

2. Neutrals & Browns

The foundation of most design schemes.
Warm, earthy, and highly versatile, these colors act as the backbone for interiors and exteriors—layering effortlessly with natural materials like wood, stone, and plaster.

Whites and Off-whites paint color collections

3. Whites & Off-Whites

Subtle, complex, and essential.
This is not just “white”—it’s a full spectrum of undertones, from warm creams to crisp cool whites, designed to work across walls, trim, and entire homes.

4. Greys & Blacks

Modern, structured, and grounding.
From soft, nuanced greys to bold architectural charcoals and blacks, this grouping adds contrast, sophistication, and balance.

Pinks Reds and Yellow paint color collections

5. Yellows, Pinks & Reds

Expressive, warm, and full of life.
From muted terracottas and blush tones to rich, sun-baked hues, these colors bring energy while still feeling refined and usable.

Built-In Guidance: Color Descriptions That Actually Help

One of the most useful—and often overlooked—features of the Porter’s system is the color guidance printed on the back of each book.

These descriptions explain:

The feeling and mood of each color family
How the colors behave in a space
Where and how they are best used

This built-in guidance turns the fan deck into more than a reference—it becomes a working tool for decision-making, especially when collaborating with clients.

Why It Works

The strength of the Porter’s fan deck is its clarity:

Fewer, better colors
Logical organization
Real guidance built into the system

It’s designed for speed, confidence, and cohesion—whether you're selecting a single room or an entire project.
