The Complete Guide to USM Haller Colors: Which One Suits Your Space?

Color choice is one of the most personal aspects of furniture design. USM Haller — and compatible systems like Klackjoy — offer 14 iconic powder-coated colors.

Each has its own character and best-use scenarios. Let's explore them all.

Mixing Colors

One of USM's great strengths is the ability to mix colors within a single unit:

Complementary Pairs

• Black + Yellow: High contrast, modern edge
• White + Red: Bold yet balanced
• Grey + Blue: Professional calm

Tonal Combinations

• Light Grey + Mid Grey: Sophisticated gradient
• White + Beige: Warm neutrality

Accent Strategy

Use one colored panel among neutrals to create a focal point without overwhelming the space.

Making Your Choice

Consider these factors:

1. Room lighting — Dark colors absorb light; light colors reflect it
2. Existing furniture — Match or intentionally contrast
3. Room size — Light colors expand small spaces
4. Use case — Professional settings may call for neutrals
