Colour experts at Crown Paints have looked at growing and emerging trends worldwide to forecast what will be the new trends for Autumn/Winter 2014. The team of specialists have looked at looked at various aspects, such as fashion, film and architecture, to produce three eye catching schemes. Colours from 3 new palettes – ‘Appreciation,’ ‘Colour Explosion’ and ‘Decadence’ – are available in products within the company’s Crown Trade, Sadolin and Sandtex Trade brands.

'Appreciation' is a trend which celebrates natural craftsmanship and materials to create a palette that is both inspirational and inviting, whereas in direct contrast, ‘Colour Explosion’ is a kaleidoscopic clash of visual cultures, taking influences from areas as disparate as science fiction, fashion and space. To complete the set, 'Decadence’ offers a shimmering and mysterious mix of indulgent dark tones shot through with a metallic opulence.

Judy Smith, Crown Paints’ Colour Consultant, said "These complex and exciting colours range from the deep and moody tones of ‘Appreciation,’ which complement dark woods and natural textures, through the bright and vibrant shards of intense colour that is ‘Colour Explosion,’ to the glamour and romance of ‘Decadence’ with its metallics and softly delicate hues.”
