Colour coding with Vellex™ transforms storage into an intuitive, high-performance system that enhances both organisation and design. With a curated palette of 22 colours, Vellex™ allows you to tailor your environment—whether it’s the precision of a laboratory, the energy of a STEM classroom, or the calm efficiency of a healthcare setting.
More than just visual appeal, colour plays a critical role in improving workflow by enabling instant identification, creating clearly defined zones to reduce cross-contamination, and minimising errors across labs, clinics, and education spaces. It also supports standardised processes and lean 5S principles, helping teams work smarter and more consistently. With Vellex™, colour becomes a powerful operational tool—bringing clarity, control, and cohesion to every space.
Instantly identify and access the right supplies.
Create clear zones that reduce cross-contamination.
Minimise errors in labs, clinics, and classrooms.
Standardise workflows across departments and campuses.
Support lean and 5S principles (Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardise, Sustain).
With Vellex®, colour is more than aesthetic, it’s an intelligent tool that streamlines organisation, reduces errors, and adds a touch of design to every space.
Versatile Spaces specialty recommendations being implemented across facilities for speed and accuracy are as follows, show the actual Colours in the chart down the lefthand side of the table below.
