Prime Melamine Launches 7 Stunning New Colours
New Prime Melamine releases from Prime Panels welcome a wave of fresh new colours — and with timber designs leading the way in kitchen and bathroom trends for 2025, this update couldn’t be better timed.
These latest additions have been crafted with the New Zealand design community in mind, offering greater versatility and harmony with the country’s most popular flooring and surface finishes. Whether you’re designing a kitchen, bathroom, wardrobe or commercial joinery project, Prime Melamine’s new colours deliver beauty, practicality and edge-to-edge style. Explore four stunning new timber decors, and some essential solid colours below:
Tuscan Oak - Rich, warm and textural
Featuring a softly planked structure in warm brown tones, Tuscan Oak pairs beautifully with aubergine, berry shades, pastels and chocolate browns. The texture and hue are a perfect match for many timber flooring tones — ideal for projects where cohesion is key.
Bavarian Oak - Deep, chocolate-toned and dramatic
With the same planked timber structure as Tuscan Oak, Bavarian Oak offers a bolder, deeper tone perfect for creating contrast with lighter benchtops. Available in a 24x12 HPL option, it’s a popular pick for multi-residential projects.
Chestnut - Rich walnut vibes with natural texture
Chestnut’s softly planked structure and walnut-inspired grain add depth and warmth. With subtle tonal variations and tactile appeal, it transitions seamlessly from classic to contemporary spaces.
Northern Oak - Clean, classic and versatile
A quarter-cut natural oak tone with linear grain, Northern Oak is a timeless staple. Easy to pair with marbles, stones, concretes and earthy tones, it’s available in a 24x12 HPL option.
Gully Green - Deep, rich, and right on trend
This is green with sophistication. With its grounding appeal, Gully Green is equally at home as a bold feature or a quiet neutral.
Linden - Soft and refreshing
A subtle green designed to pair with Tuscan and Bavarian Oak. Want impact? Try it with Anthracite or Black.
Illusion - The chameleon of colour
Depending on your palette, Illusion can lean peach, taupe, or dark cream. It’s a shape-shifter — and stunning when paired with Chestnut or Bavarian Oak.
