COLOURNEXT16
Is your red my red?
The average human eye identifies colour the same way, but
how we identify with colour opens up a whole new spectrum.
In these grey areas, as it were, we explore a world of colour
that is rich with individual perception.
The inherent diversity in our experience of colour only makes
the creation of it more interesting. Translating abstract
feelings into complex compounds of pigment, solvent, filler
and additives is both a precise science and an intuitive art.
The pursuit of the perfect shade of crimson sunset or dusk
grey is hard work. Take the history of our Colour of the Year for
instance, a tale of sojourns and espionage across the oceans,
all for that inimitable Madder Red. Centuries later, its appeal
is still as strong.
Colour reflects the mood of an era, a season, a nation, an
individual it is a chronicler of our times. Layered with
symbolism across cultures, its evolving meaning is touched
by shifting socio- economic currents. In the infinite palette of
nature, there are still millions of shades we are yet to tap.
At Asian Paints, we seek to recreate those that resonate with
the pulse of the people. Working with influencers across
disciplines, from designers to sociologists, we distill societal
trends that reflect and react to the mood of our consumers.
With six decades of experience in perfecting colours, we bring
you Asian Paints ColourNext16. In the 13th edition of our
annual trend forecast for interiors, we rediscover colour and
the individual that unique expression of life that has quietly
taken the spotlight this year.
Pioneering fashion editor, Diana Vreeland once said, All my
life I have pursued the perfect red. I can never get painters to
mix it for me. Its as if Id said, I want Rococo with a spot of
Gothic and a bit of Buddhist templethey have no idea what
Im talking about.
She should have talked to us.

There is a fire within not the raging, restless kind but one
that fuels new beginnings. It comes from an intensity of
passion, and the power of conviction. Ablaze like the core of
the earth, yet contained.
There is a madness to this method, early seekers said.
Twenty steps from root to red. Months turned into years, the
way slowly found. Hot on the trail of this elusive rose, many a
red has come and gone. But, the madder forever soldiers on.

FOR REKINDLE
The Rekindle space is forever, unchanged by
time yet gracefully moving with it. As old as it
is new, it speaks to you. There is comfort in the
familiar, a deep rooted connection to the origin
of every material, form and colour. Drawn from
the living world around us, natural dyes like
Indigo and Manjishtha find resonance in the
grain of seasoned wood, the taste of copper
and the touch of terracotta under your feet.
Refined without losing its innate spirit, they
rekindle the essence of who we are.

FORECAST
FOR FLOCK
Unwritten rules bind us to each other;
we are leaders and followers all at once.
And, so it is with Flock. Brought together
by an idea in common, neutral midtones
search for harmony, and materials find an
echo in each other. Standing out is not as
important as standing together. You glide
from space to space; nothing screams
for your attention, but everything quietly
beckons it. Almost white with a hint of
purple or a drop of red, mild colours meet
dreamy surfaces like marble and iridescent
glass. Boundaries are blurred and stories
overlap, layered like a watercolour painting.
A true exploration of coming together.

AGE OF CREATORS
No longer the quiet background to the lives
that play out in front of them, walls will tell
stories. Revelling in the limelight, unafraid
of the attention of the world, we strive for
sheer brilliance. Head turning redefinitions
of blue, pink, black and green reflect the
polish of Corian and anodised metal, offset
by suede and concrete finishes. Pattern,
striking and distinct, and typography quite
literally is written on the wall. Unabashed
luminosity, bold strides, pure visual delight.
Move over mundane.

The Explorer sees the beauty of
impermanence. It draws from eclectic
experiences. Like a seasoned traveller
who is comfortable anywhere, the palette
is neutral with browns and greys, the
perfect background to the theatre of
life that unfolds. Joyfully unattached,
The Explorer chooses birch over teak,
aluminium over iron and wallpapers
that feed a whimsical need to move
on. Evolving spaces punctuated with
moments of surprise, like a journey with
a map less travelled.
