NEUTRAL OF THE YEAR This year, we’ve changed things up a bit and introduced a Neutral of the Year into the Forecast. It’s our pick for the colour that best captures the essence of the year’s trends and is really easy for anyone to use.
Every year we put together the Plascon Colour Forecast to help people decode the world of colour trends and make them relevant to their lives. Currently we’re seeing that our world is in flux, and this means that our trends are all about bringing different design, cultural and lifestyle influences together in unexpected combinations. So in this Forecast we hope that you find inspiration first and foremost, but also a resonance in your own life. Colour is more than what’s on the surface. It affects our mood and shapes our world, and this Forecast is our snapshot of where we are right now.
NEUTRAL OF THE YEAR
“AMADEUS” Y2-B1-4 Amadeus is an earthy, yellow-tinted hue that helps to bring a space together. It’s a neutral with character which brings a grounding energy when you combine it with other colours.
STARLIGHT EXPRESS Y5-E1-3
colour story one
EXOTIC EUPHORIA The distinction between natural and artificial is starting to blur as scientists, designers and artists combine the best of both in their work. The result is a new kind of visual expression where colours are supercharged and a little wild. In this palette, city nightscapes and phosphorescent jungle life inspire a range of blazing brights, which are complemented by a selection of lush natural hues.
CLASSIC AND TIMELESS The freedom to enjoy beauty within your home unrestrained. Double Velvet appears as a luxurious velvet sheen finish with a unique Stain Barrier ™ so that it can be wiped down again and again and still look great.
The colours of foliage inspire a delightful use of this trend’s greens, especially when complemented by the spicy accent of Tangerine Tango.
TANGERINE TANGO 03-A1-1
The saturated colours of this palette bring an electric energy to living spaces, as seen in this combination of Fuscia Fizz and Eye of the Storm.
FUSCIA FIZZ R2-A1-1
EVENING MIST 1
EYE OF THE STORM B7-C1-1
CARIBBEAN CURRENT G6-C1-2
Fucsia Fizz is a great choice for feature walls. It helps to make a bold statement and create distinctive spaces.
Printed colours may vary from the actual paint colour.
MELLOW BLUE B4-C2-2
STARLIGHT EXPRESS Y5-E1-3
GLORIOUS GOLD Y4-B1-3

SOFT COMPOSITION Soft Composition is about editing spaces and styles to create room for contemplation. It draws on the forms and colours of the past but updates them to create a calming yet grounded experience. With a purposeful palette of muted colours and bold retro accents, Soft Composition feels familiar yet contemporary. It is a modern, warm minimalism for the way we live today.
SOPHISTICATED & CONTEMPORARY The answer to an elegant transformation for the inside of your home. Cashmere comes in a plush matt finish which is designed to maintain its matt appearance over time even with regular wiping and hides imperfections on your walls.
Plascon Velvaglo Water Based Enamel provides a smooth, luxurious finish to your wood, metal, and wall surfaces. Being water based, it is easier to use than regular solvent based enamels. It offers superior protection with high washability and durability.
VELVET COAST B6-B1-4
Combined with more classical décor, the retro-inspired Storm Cloud adds a welcome depth to this space – grabbing just enough attention without being overwhelming.
STORM CLOUD B4-C1-1
Using neutrals with warm undertones from Soft Composition, we have created a grounded minimal look in this space.

CRAFT SPIRIT We live in a world of infinite inspiration through connection, but the more we explore our world the more we find common colours are the ties that bind. Craft Spirit pays tribute to this rich global mix with a grounded and pigmented palette of warm burnished hues, fruity accents and watery blues. We all have a link back to a crafted past and rediscovering and remixing that is key today.

colour story four
HI-GLO More and more, our identities are about pushing boundaries. People long for spaces where they can play with their personal expression. This rule-breaking spirit, plus a less serious approach to interiors leads to quirky colour choices and the exploration of fun, digitallyinspired design. We’ve captured this all in a palette of sorbet tones of lemon, lime and pink, paired with mid-tone primaries and grounding earthy colours. LAVENDER VEIL P4-A2-1
FIND YOUR TRUE COLOUR Plascon True Colour Brilliant Sheen is designed to refresh and transform your living space into something that reflects your true colours. It’s easy to use and clean, has excellent spreadability, and the waterbeading effect makes it dirt resistant.
These playful decorative geometrics are given a depth with Genevieve Song and Dylan’s Blue with a grounding thanks to the contrast of Madonna City.
CITRUS BREEZE Y6-A1-4
The pure primary energy of Dylan’s Blue and Hot-n-Spicy is contrasted with Antique Petal and Citrus Breeze to give a fresh and uncomplicated take on this living space.
ANTIQUE PETAL 43
MADONNA CITY Y1-E1-3
LAVENDER VEIL
This structural treatment in Dylan’s Blue, Madonna City and Antique Petal shows the calm and collected side of this palette, great for contemporary living spaces.
Printed colours may vary from the actual paint colour. * Please note this colour requires a base coat.
P4-A2-1
