The theme consists of the following five colour palettes and colour moods:
- Big nature + small me

- + unseen spaces
- Him + her
- Friendly Barter +
What is to colour for 2015
The colour of the year 2015 is……. 50YR 36/263 (also known as Copper orange).
“It reflects and complements all of the major trends that we have identified for 2015: a warmth in attitude and a renewed emphasis on sharing; the natural palette of the earth, from clay tones to sunlit highlights of yellow; the skin tones that reflect human interaction and the sepia hues of the past.
It is a colour of depth and currency that combines wonderfully with the everyday”
