SICO paint brand by PPG has selected Cool Current, a grey-green, as its 2022 Color of the Year.
DULUX Paints by PPG chose Olive Sprig, a sage green as its 2022 Color of the Year.
AkzoNobel’s 2022 Color of the Year can benefit from Interpon’s Baku, the company says. Building on the light and airy shades of Bright Skies, Baku is a “bold” yet “neutral” tone.
“Not only have people’s life priorities shifted following a year of uncertainty amid lockdowns, but so have their color preferences, with many homeowners eager to make uplifting changes to their living environments,” says Martin Tustin-Fuchs, Senior Marketing Manager, Sico paint brand by PPG.
Tustin-Fuchs points to a recent survey that shows almost half of Canadians have already done or are planning to do home renovations as a result of the pandemic.
“We’re seeing a consumer revolution of sorts as people shift away from the stark, neutral palettes popular in the last few years and opt instead for more saturated hues that are guiding us into a new era of home design,” Tustin-Fuchs says. “This new era also includes a move from open concept living spaces to individual rooms to create privacy and compartmentalize working life from personal – a trend triggered by the rise in remote working and learning over the last year.”
Helping customers bring their imagination to life is integral to our Interpon brand, says Daniela Vlad, Business Director of AkzoNobel Powder Coatings. “Our products – enhanced by our color trend research – are key to achieving architectural beauty, whether we’re making a building stand out or blend seamlessly into its environment. We’re excited to bring surfaces to life with our Interpon Futura Collection and its carefully selected Color of the Year, Baku.”
