Colors in the Vila Do Conde

Natural is the lightest, a warm red-brown that keeps the Sapele grain visible; Caramelo also sits in the red/reddish family with more saturation; Rio Espresso, Pimenta Preta, and Ebano move progressively darker into deep-brown and near-black tones. It’s a range built around the species’ natural reddish character rather than a light-to-dark neutral gradient.

Best uses for Vila Do Conde

• Traditional-scale rooms — 7-1/2″ planks suit bedrooms, dining rooms, and other moderately sized spaces.
• Concrete-slab or plywood subfloors — glue-down, staple/nail-down, or floating all apply.
• A darker, dramatic floor — Ebano and Pimenta Preta suit buyers wanting a near-black statement floor.
• Light-commercial spaces — the 5-Year Light Commercial Finish Warranty extends coverage beyond residential use.

Choosing a color from the Vila Do Conde

Natural and Caramelo work well in rooms that already lean warm, keeping the Sapele grain visible; the three darker colors (Rio Espresso, Pimenta Preta, Ebano) hide scuffs well but show dust more readily and can make a smaller room feel more enclosed. Bring a sample home or compare it under your own lighting at our Santa Clara showroom, where we can also confirm dye lots across a full order.
