spring/summer 2015
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 we do and our
passion means that we want to inspire our
customers to feel the same way - encouraging
confidence with their own personal colour choices.
For consumer and professional markets, interior and
exterior, Crown Paints Colour Influences is a
celebration of colour, sharing with you our viewpoint on
future colour developments.
Welcome to the Spring/Summer 2015 edition. We hope
it inspires you, whichever area you work in, to make
creative and individual colour choices.

Judy says “I love it when opposites come together and work in harmony because it is provoking and
playful and makes us think in new and different ways. Here, soft chalky tones are used with strong angular
shapes and hard materials like concrete for a sophisticated and modern take on pastels.”

Neville says “I love spaces that generate a physical reaction. Here energising botanic tones set pulses
raising while softer organics calm you down. Saturated colour combinations create high impact in a
space resulting in vibrant freshness.”

Justyna says “This trend is perfect for gardens and other outside spaces. Taking inspiration from the plants
itself, this trend uses soothing organic tones and rich textures backed up by saturated greens with a splash
of energetic yellow to create calm, yet striking space, a perfect botanical retreat.”

Most colours in this guide are available in most Crown Trade finishes and some
Sandtex Trade finishes. Please check with your local Crown Paints representative
or stockist before specifying.
Due to the complexities of printing vs paint pigments, the colours shown may not
exactly match the paint colours and do not represent a particular finish or
texture. We recommend that samples are requested from our Customer
Relations team on 0845 389 9583.
Crown Paints advises that certain colours in certain finishes may require
additional coats for complete obliteration.
