The color Bernese Sandstone illustrates the intrinsic beauty of a color culture based on the use of natural building materials from the region. Light is most strongly reflected when it bounces back and forth between similar materials, creating a powerful dialog between the architecture and its surroundings. Bernese Sandstone, which has been quarried in Ostermundigen, Krauchthal and on the Gurten since the 15th century, has had a decisive influence on the cityscape of Bern’s city center. The color based on it, a warm, earthy gray-brown with greenish undertones, respectfully integrates the architecture into its surroundings. The various natural pigments in the color formulation lend it an ability to reflect light and to embed the architecture in the landscape far beyond Bern’s borders.
