Elemental Order: This theme discovers modern processes explored for our bio-designed future to reveal a raw and saturated colour palette celebrating nature’s elements.
The themes each reveal a palette of colours demonstrating a flux from 2014/15 research to an increasing variety of yellows, the growing presence of more welcoming and warming reds, a refinement of pinks-purples as well as blues, and the appearance of more sultry hues of green. Cool neutrals are becoming purer and more sophisticated, while warm neutrals are given more presence with milky tones giving a more organic look.
