Kansai Paint, a leading player in the global paint and coatings industry, has unveiled its 2015 colour trends for the summer.

The summer colours, inclusive of a wide palette of cooling shades, were revealed by Anne Roselt, global colour manager at Kansai Paint at an event held at Kansai’s exclusive experience centre in Umm Sequim, Dubai.

A recognized authority on colour globally, Roselt launched the first Annual Colour Forecast for Kansai in 1999, said a statement.

Speaking at the unveiling, she said: “Every year we bring out colours that are unique and inimitable. For summer, we have focused on colours that would help create a cool retreat for your indoors.

“While crafting our colours, our research team monitors trends and predilections to make ideal colours for every season.  Each colour presented in the summer trend for 2015 is specially selected to suit the climate.”

Kansai’s summer colours will provide all the right features for home interiors that will have one leave behind the biting summer heat.

The firm has picked out hues that idyllic for the Arabian summers from a wide range of its colour trends for the year.  

Kansai 2015 trends fall under four themes – each expressing a unique colour palette and décor element.

The themes are Urban Glow, inspired by the myriad colours of the sun and its changing tones as it sets and rises; Natural Balance, an earth inspired theme that plays with the cooling organic greens of untamed forests; Vivid Expression reflecting a rich and luscious world of unabashed abundance; and Tailor Made which explores a quiet luxury where simplicity becomes the expression of elegance.

Kansai’s summer colours exude an uncontained energy and warmth that is bound to make any space happy and cheerful - a summer blooming with colours and laughter in homes that become a sanctuary, said the statement.
