Every Polyflor Camaro and Colonia Wood Design and Its Closest GF Match
The tables list every Camaro and Colonia wood design on our site in A to Z order with the single closest GF design, split by fitting. Each match has the same fitting and the same plank, herringbone or chevron look.

How close is each match? “Very close match” and “Similar look” mean both floors have been checked against photos. “Similar colour” means no GF design passed the photo check, so the table shows the GF design closest in colour with the same fitting and look. For those, order samples of two or three GF designs before you decide.
The GF Designs That Match Camaro and Colonia Most Often
A handful of GF designs cover most of the Camaro and Colonia wood range, so if you are choosing between several Camaro and Colonia designs, these are the GF samples to order first:
Every GF design is also listed with its wear layer, thickness and plank size on the GF Flooring website, under GF by AW, Glue Down LVT and Click SPC.
Camaro and Colonia Stone and Tile Designs
This page covers Camaro and Colonia’s wood designs. For a Camaro and Colonia stone or tile design, search for the design name in Floor Finder: choose “I have seen a floor I like” and type the name. It shows the closest GF tile with the same fitting, or tells you if nothing is close enough.
How to Check a Match Before You Buy
Colour and grain read differently on a screen than in a room, so order a free sample of the GF match and look at it on your own floor, in daylight and under your own lighting. You can also see the GF range in person at our Altrincham showroom.
When Polyflor Camaro and Colonia Is the Right Answer
Sometimes Polyflor itself is the right choice: you have your heart set on one particular Camaro or Colonia design, you want Colonia’s recycled content or your project specification names Polyflor. We supply and fit the full Camaro, Camaro Rigid Core and Colonia ranges too, so you can compare both and choose. Our Polyflor ranges explained guide covers the differences between them.
