Colour 2019 ‘spiced honey’

Colour 2019 ‘spiced honey’

Dulux shows how the hue mixes with others to create exactly the mood you need

HERE’S ANOTHER Colour of the Year for 2019 to consider. Other paint and decorating firms make their choices, but AkzoNobel’s |Dulux brand is going with “spiced honey”.
It says its warm amber tone is “versatile and contemporary and complements a wide variety of life and interior styles”.
Perfectly capturing this year’s theme, “let the light in”, the shade expresses the new sense of optimism felt throughout the global trend research, insights and consumer behaviour conducted by AkzoNobel’s Global Aesthetic Centre.

Colour 2019 ‘spiced honey’

The warm amber of spiced honey has been chosen as the Colour of 2019.

“Our colours begin their journey at the centre, which has been responsible for trend analysis, colour research, colour design and art direction at AkzoNobel for over 25 years,” explains Heleen van Gent, its creative director. 
“The choice of spiced honey is another milestone in empowering our consumers worldwide to choose paint colours with absolute confidence.”
Top design professionals from all over the world are invited each year to capture the mood of the moment. 
“Last year, many of us were left unsettled by global events, so we closed our doors to retreat and regroup,” says Gent. “Now we feel ready to open our windows and let the light in. 
“Our trend research shows that people around the world are experiencing a renewed sense of energy, optimism and purpose. We want to reach out, engage with others and to make things better. 
“Spiced honey reflects those desires – it’s a colour that can be calming or nourishing, stimulating and energising, depending on the light and colours surrounding it.”
Now in its 16th year, AkzoNobel’s Dulux Colour of the Year can be tested by consumers using various tools, such as the Dulux Visualiser. 
Spiced honey inspires four harmonious colour palettes – warm neutrals, soft pastels, intense pigments, and bold bright hues. Each takes a cue from the varied tones and remarkable properties of honey – natural, timeless and enduring, protective, rejuvenating and healing.
