Immersive Experience

This atmospheric mix contrasts cool and warm tones to create the ultimate engaging palette. Chalky pale neutrals bring a sense of calm while intensifying the brighter hues. Vivid yellow, pink and deep turquoise have a natural yet energetic feel that suggests activity, with urban grey, black and navy blue offering a grounding base.
Exotic Movement

Inspired by nature's infinite collection of colours, this bold palette is diverse and eye catching, designed to uplift and excite. Natural shades of green offering a smooth base. This palette has the ability to be calm and comforting or energetic and envigorating.
Man and Machine

Unusual blends where deep dark colours sit alongside saturated mid-tones and subdued neutrals, creating luxurious and emotive combinations. Red based hues are central to the palette, with vibrant pink and metallic purple stirring excitement next to the more dramatic blackened shades.
Authentic Order

Taking inspiration from the warmth of natural materials, these colours evoke a reassuring atmosphere that holds a sense of history with a 21st century twist. Golden earth tones and dusted neutrals are comforting while teal and burgundy hold a more lavish feel, adding a touch of luxury to the mix.
