Refresh
Arise in early light, with the softest hue.
Refresh is here. It is a hue alive with newness and possibility. Containing very little black and little chroma, this pale green, influenced by yellow, hints at nature’s varying green colours as they first emerge. Mostly untouched by the effects of the sun, the colour is soft, almost innocent, as it emerges into the landscape.
It is refreshing and connects to the natural world with a colourful aura that heralds health and suggests harmony. It embraces humanity’s association with nature, and love of same. This emerging hue, determined in Color Marketing Group Latin America meetings for 2024+ moves from its natural inspirations to the design landscape. From home décor and accessories, to textiles, to paint emulsions and wallcoverings, it is a hue of modern clarity and the intimation of something new.
Refresh creates a quiet and unassuming path forward that connects individuals to society and nature for the new year, and beyond. It is a hue with a gentle reminder of nature’s best aspects, that things constantly emerge anew, that creativity is present in myriad ways, and that design can benefit all.
The broad appeal of Refresh makes it an ideal hue for residential and commercial spaces. By bringing one of nature’s hues indoors, spaces like great rooms and lobbies can share the same type of vibe, allowing inhabitants to move easily between personal and professional areas with the same sense of freshness and calm. It can serve as a colour with which to drift off to sleep, or cast a relaxing mood for a wellness retreat.
Realized in soft-touch materials, mossy textured fabrics, or as a matte paint emulsion, Refresh can have as many moods as it has inspirations. The colour can mimic the leaf of a dusty miller plant, the smooth finish of sea glass, or even the frothiness of a smoothie, with each suggesting something new and fresh. Refresh will create little oases in upholstery pieces, add quiet green touches to tableware and linens, and quietly energize a focus wall with its tranquil colour.
As one year closes, and the next begins, it is the perfect time for a colour Refresh.
