Every year, our team of colour consultants, colour specialists and designers bring their knowledge and creativity together to enjoy lively conversations around the influences that will inspire colour trends we will see in the year ahead.

Colour is at the heart of everything that we do and our passion means that we want to inspire ourcustomers to feel the same way - encouraging confidence with their own personal colour choices.

For consumer and professional markets, interior andexterior, Crown Paints Colour Influences is a celebration of colour, sharing with you our viewpoint on future colour developments.

Welcome to the Autumn/Winter 2015 edition. We hope it inspires you, whichever area you work in, to make creative and individual colour choices.

Justyna says “As its name suggests, this trend is all about a simple form. The palette is pared down on

colour but rich in texture. Chalky matt, rough surfaces are beautifully combined with light reflective finishes

and metal embellishments.”

Judy says “Some of the most modern and prolific furniture and textile designers take inspiration from skills

like basketware and patchwork for their designs - looking at the myriad ways of layering and weaving

tone and texture together for inspiration. For this reason I find Stitch exciting and interesting as a starting

point for putting together a palette that is thought provoking and has real depth and strength.”
