Colorbond colours

MangroveNo longer in the standard range.

Mangrove isn't in the current Colorbond roofing range. BlueScope retired it from the standard palette in its 2022 refresh and moved it to a secondary range that's available by special order. If you need to match an existing Mangrove roof, there are options, but allow extra time.

We don't show this colour on screen because screens get it wrong. Ask a roofer or supplier for a sample sheet.

Updated 27 October 2026 · Written by the Find My Roofer team · How we check our facts

What does discontinued mean for your roof?

Nothing changes for the roof you've got. It only matters when you need more steel in that colour, because a roofer can't order Mangrove sheets or flashings off the standard list.

BlueScope publishes no current description or heat figure for Mangrove, so there's no swatch here, and we won't name a closest current colour on paper.

Matching a Mangrove roof, step by step

  1. Confirm what you've got

    Find the original quote, invoice or plans. Old colours look alike after years outdoors, so don't go by memory.

  2. Ask about special order

    Ask your roofer whether Mangrove can come from BlueScope's secondary range, and how long it will take.

  3. Ask about a Studio match

    BlueScope's Colorbond steel Studio offers over 200 colours matched by RGB, HEX, Dulux or RAL references. Lysaght says minimum order quantities apply, so it suits a bigger job.

  4. Compare in daylight

    Hold any new sheet against the old roof outside. Weathered steel may not match a fresh sheet exactly. Painting new sheets to match isn't the answer, as BlueScope says overpainting voids its warranty.

What we'd ask the roofer

For a few sheets on a roof plane nobody sees, we'd ask about special order first. For an extension or anything visible from the street, we'd price a Studio match against re-sheeting that whole plane in one of the 22 current colours, then pick whichever will still look right in ten years. We're independent; BlueScope owns the Colorbond trademark.

Questions

Straight answers.

Can I still buy Mangrove Colorbond?
Only by special order, from the secondary range BlueScope moved it to in 2022. Whether a supplier near you can get it, and how quickly, is a question for your roofer.
Will new sheets match my old Mangrove roof?
Possibly not exactly, because weathered steel can look different from new. If the new sheets will be in plain view, think about re-sheeting the whole roof plane.
