WELCOME TO CROWN PAINTSCOLOUR INFLUENCES

autumn/winter 2016

At Crown Paints we pride ourselves on encouraging people to express themselves through colour. And with more than 200 years of heritage, a wealth of knowledge and experience is poured into every tin. Our brands are widely used in both domestic and commercial environments, with premium quality products, ideal for every decorating situation.

Every year, Crown Paints invites its panel of designers, colourists and trend forecasters to identify the influences that will define the colour landscape for the year ahead. The group discusses global events, social and economic changes as well as fashion and interior design trends to identify patterns for future influences and ultimately learn what will drive our customers’ tastes and behaviour in the year ahead.

Autumn/winter 2016 consists of three individual palettes as a collection. The look is pared down with simple styling, a focus on colour, application and texture. Less is more and interestingly, all of the influences are heavily inspired either by our natural or our urban landscape.The colours shown are available in a wide range of high quality professional finishes, including Crown Trade’s super scrubbable Clean Extreme emulsions, perfect for maintaining that ‘just painted’ look.

Out of the Dark plays around with the unexpected use of colour. Black & charcoal grey are dominant in this look,

forming solid blocks of tone that are interrupted by strong blasts of bright yellow, pink and orange.

Dramatic and daring, with its graphic lines and splashes of bright vivid colour, this striking influence would suit both a

commercial and a domestic setting.

Shades of grey and black are dominant in this look which typically, aren’t signed for the faint hearted but they can

make any setting feel more enclosed and inviting.

OUT OF THE DARKJEMMA:

JEMMA SAUNDERS comments;“Out of the Dark reflects an

emerging resolve to be bolder and braver with colour. What makes this

trend so appealing is that you can be as adventurous as you like with

the palette. Use colour in a restrained way by adding subtle

colour explosions, or experiment with multiple patterns and

silhouettes to really make the look your own.”

Inspired by a natural landscape, this influence uses layers of tonal colour to create an ethereal, magical look. Visual illusions of iridescent scenes from nature have created a palette which offers a fresh take on how we use cool

colours in decoration.

Dazzling reflections from minerals, seascapes and ice have inspired a colour collection that teams layers of pale, watery hues of cool blue with darker, chalkier, cloudier shades. The

result is a tranquil, calm and reflective palette.

JUDY:

JUDY SMITH comments;“Skyscapes is a quiet but assured colour trend that demonstrates how light and inky blues can be used together to create a pared-back tonal finish. Add subtle touches of shadow and cloudiness to theall-blue palette by using a feathered paint effect to separate two tones, or by bringing in grey and white accents as a gentle contrast.”

Faded Berries sees nature take on a robust and moody persona. This atmospheric influence captures the intensity of nature as it matures and evolves, evoking a landscape

characterised by wild heather and untamed foliage.

By setting the richness of deep heather tones against mossy and grassy greens, the palette takes on a decidedly untamed aesthetic, celebrating a nature that is faded and

wild rather than restrained and pristine. The berry and green tones are complemented by neutral accents which bring a

softness to the overall look.

NEVILLE:

NEVILLE KNOTT comments;“There is something so inherently beautiful about nature gone wild.

Faded Berries captures the splendour of the natural landscape

as it is left to unfold and age. The mystical quality of the trend is enhanced by the way diffusions of

colour are used to create purple-on-purple or green-on-green effects.

The look is further accentuated by rustic wood furniture pieces, tactile

textiles and the use of natural wood grains.”
