Aloi aluminium bersalut warna boleh berbeza-beza bergantung pada aplikasi yang dikehendaki dan warna khusus yang diperlukan. Secara amnya, aloi aluminium dalam 1xxx, 3xxx, and 5xxx series are most commonly used for color coated aluminum.

Aloi siri 1xxx adalah aluminium tulen dan mempunyai rintangan kakisan yang sangat baik dan kebolehkerjaan yang baik. Namun begitu, ia lembut dan tidak sesuai untuk aplikasi di mana kekuatan tinggi diperlukan.

The 3xxx series alloys, such as 3003 dan 3105, have moderate strength and good workability. They are often used for roofing, berpihak, and other architectural applications.

The 5xxx series alloys, such as 5052 dan 5083, have high strength and excellent corrosion resistance. They are commonly used in marine and automotive applications.

In addition to the alloy selection, the choice of coating also plays an important role in the final appearance and performance of the color-coated aluminum. Poliester, polyurethane, and fluorocarbon coatings are commonly used for color-coated aluminum.
