Colour Forecast 2019
Identity
It’s time to break out of the mould and show us the real you. Identity speaks to the radical, non-conformist in us all. It empowers us to live on the wild side and express our true inner creative. Who cares what anyone else thinks? Featured: ‘Untitled no.23’ original artwork by Max Lawrence White, Modern Times; ‘Blue Savana’ original artwork by Mim Fanning, Studio Gallery.

Identity empowers you to show your true colours
Rules and conventions are thrown out the window, freeing us up to experiment with a bold and individualistic vision. Filled with fun and spirited energy, bursting with the spontaneity of youth and wild optimism, colour becomes the adrenaline for our senses.
The Identity Palette
Colour me happy! Unusual combinations of saturated blues, purples and oranges against a base of paler notes are the perfect palette for expressing true individuality.
You don't need colour on every wall to make a daring and adventurous statement. Experiment with the smaller architectural details, applying a colour that will transform them into a special feature.
Flaunt the fabulous
A mish-mash of modern multi-cultural influences call up the colourful, futuristic vibes of sci-fi fantasy and off-the-wall selfie culture. They empower us to be brave and confident and to flaunt the fabulous, colourful quirks and flaws that make us who we are.
Anything goes
Anything goes with Identity, so choose what you love, go with what makes you smile and create a bold, optimistic statement in your home. Your bedroom is a perfect place to start experimenting with colour and defining your style.
Call out simple details
Bold hues can be used to call out simple, unassuming architectural details transforming them into features within your home. This gives you the option to feature strong statement colours such as Devils Staircase and Manapouri in small but impactful doses.
Create amazing backdrops for graphic art
Simple geometric features can create amazing backdrops for graphic art. We have selected Manapouri and Taylors Mistake hues to complement this artwork rather than distract from it.
