Joining the ranks of companies voting purple for 2022, Pantone‘s selection for Colour of the Year is Very Peri. Almost indistinguishable (but with a touch more red) from their 2008 colour Blue Iris we’re hoping this doesn’t follow Pantone’s habit of somewhat predicting world events and that we’ll steer clear from recession. Continue reading Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2022
Our next 2022 Colour of the Year comes from Dulux who have previously selected the delightful neutral Brave Ground for 2021, and Tranquil Dawn for 2020 (a shade surprisingly similar to Benjamin Moore’s October Mist).

In the spirit of the tumultuous and transformative year that 2020 has been, this “warm, earthy … Continue reading Dulux Colour of the Year 2021
The year 2016 was a big one for many reasons: the EU referendum, the American election, the Zika outbreak, continued terror attacks, we lost Prince, Bowie, and a host of other icons, Pantone released not one, but two colours of the year, and we saw the birth of Diary of a Tile Addict. As if forseeing a tumultuous year filled with division and incohesion, Pantone’s … Continue reading A Decade in Colour III
A rich take on hope, growth, and freshness was offered with Pantone’s 2013 shade Emerald. Much like 2010’s Turquoise, this natural stone inspired colour has long been present in building and decor. It was chosen to counteract our complex world, as Executive Director of the Pantone Colour Institute stated “Symbolically, Emerald brings a sense of clarity, renewal and rejuvenation”. The green shade also fell in … Continue reading A Decade in Colour II
The shift from Pantone’s 2019 Living Coral to the 2020 shade is reflected in the name itself. Classic Blue offers familiarity and comfort.

Welcoming the new decade, Classic Blue brings with it a sense of … Continue reading Classic and Blue
