The Colors of MAGSi

Choosing The Right Switch Color For Your Home

Intro

Color isn’t just decoration, it sets the tone for how we experience our homes. Even the smallest details can influence the mood of a space. At MAGSi, we’ve curated a thoughtful palette of four colors designed to bring personality, depth, and balance into any room. By combining color theory with practical design, the colors we’ve chosen allow you to express yourself in a multitude of ways.

1. Why We Chose These Colors

Our palette was built around versatility. Each MAGSi color is bold enough to make a statement, but subtle enough to blend seamlessly with different interior styles. We wanted to offer shades that feel expressive, modern, and adaptable — giving renters and homeowners alike an effortless way to add intentional design moments without commitment.

2. Meet the MAGSi Colors

Azure (Pantone #2728C)
Capturing the vibrancy of a clear summer sky, Azure infuses your space with calming energy. Its rich blue hue evokes expansiveness, reflecting nature’s vast horizons and adding a sense of openness.

Karsh (Pantone #7639C)
A refined mix of mauve and earthy brown, Karsh is a sophisticated purple that balances modern sensibility with timeless charm. It creates serenity while grounding a space in quiet elegance.

Olea (Pantone #6202C)
Inspired by olive tones, Olea blends green richness with subtle yellow undertones. The result is a warm, muted hue that brings tranquility and a natural, organic feel to interiors.

Boring (White)Fusing relaxed simplicity with elegant design, Boring is perfect for those who love subtlety. It makes a statement without shouting, serving as a versatile canvas that pairs well with any aesthetic.

4. Gloss vs. Matte Finishes

Finish plays a major role in how we perceive a color. With MAGSi, some components of the Switch are gloss and others are matte, which means you may see subtle contrasts within the same product.

  • Gloss: Reflects light, making colors appear brighter, sharper, and more modern. Gloss finishes tend to draw attention, acting almost like an accent piece in a room.
  • Matte: Absorbs light, giving colors a softer, muted look. Matte finishes create a more subtle, understated effect that blends seamlessly with the surroundings.

This contrast can actually enhance the design: the glossy areas catch the eye, while the matte areas add sophistication and depth. Understanding these differences helps you set expectations for how your chosen color will appear in real-world settings.

5. The Role of Lighting

Lighting is one of the most influential factors in how we perceive color, and it’s why the product you receive may sometimes look slightly different in your home than it did online.

  • Natural light: Reveals the truest form of a color, but it shifts as the day changes. Morning light is cool and fresh, while afternoon and evening light is warmer and softer.
  • Artificial light: Bulbs influence perception. Warm bulbs emphasize yellows, reds, and earthy undertones, while cool bulbs bring out blues and greens.
  • Direct vs. diffused light: Direct light makes colors appear sharper and more intense, while diffused light softens edges and tones.

For example, Olea may appear greener during the day and warmer, almost golden, under evening light. Karsh might feel deeper and more dramatic under artificial lighting, while Boring maintains its crisp neutrality across most conditions. This variability is part of what makes color dynamic and exciting — your Switch will interact with your home’s unique lighting environment to create its own effect.

Conclusion

Color shapes how we feel in our spaces. At MAGSi, we believe that experimenting with bold tones or timeless neutrals is a key part of interior design. Whether you’re drawn to the expansiveness of Azure, the elegance of Karsh, the warmth of Olea, or the subtle charm of Boring, MAGSi helps you bring color to life in your home.
