Trunking Colours

Choose the right trunking (pipe cover) colour for the install so it blends with the building exterior.

Colour catalog

Sortinal includes a catalog of standard trunking colours from major manufacturers. Each entry shows:

  • Colour name — e.g. "Ivory", "Heritage Red", "Surfmist"
  • Colour swatch — visual preview
  • Manufacturer — which brand produces it

Using it in quotes

When you configure an AC system in a quote, select the trunking colour. This:

  • Shows in the quote breakdown so the customer knows what they're getting
  • Feeds into the Visual Markup tool — trunking path lines use the selected colour
  • Appears in the generated PDF

Custom colours

If the colour you need isn't in the catalog, add a custom one with a name and hex colour code.

Tips

  • Photograph the wall colour on-site and match it before you leave — getting the colour wrong means a return trip
  • "Surfmist" and "Colorbond" colours are the most common in Australian residential
  • Include the trunking colour in your quote notes so there's no confusion at install time
