PPG Launches Possibility Collection Featuring Four New Colors Palettes
PPG’s color stylists collaborated to develop
four new palettes featured in its new Possibility collection. The four trend palettes
in The Voice of Color program for 2015-
2016 are available at dealers of PPG Pittsburgh Paints products across the U.S.
These palettes are:
Good Life
Possible Harmony
This trend is the birth child of manmade
coastal regions and earthy natural environments, complete with an earthen
spirit, respect for simplicity and a mission
to uncover an optimal balance with life.
Bringing fresh floral colors from nature
together with soft neutrals from the earth
and rich blues from the sea encourages
the expression of natural ruggedness in
the home. Earthen composite materials,
often derived from organic sources, serve
as inspiration for this palette’s variety of
naturally bold hues.
Unpretentious browns and pinks accompanied by coastal blues and yellows
create a lively and natural full color palette. A few of the colors in this 30-shade
palette are Honey Graham (PPG1069-
5), Silver Dollar (PPG1022-3), Bordeaux
(PPG1055-7), Bermuda (PPG1150-6) and
Sheffield (PPG1139-5).
I’m Pulse
Creative Possibilities
This palette is self-centric, bold, expressive and artistic, dominated by its variety of bold hues and flanked by its softened brights and urban neutrals. The
concrete grays pair beautifully with the
intensely colorful hues, while the softer
brights are particularly impactful against
the demanding blacks. Creative spirits
from around the world with an interest
in manipulating, altering and producing
digitally-sourced designs will be drawn
to the vast color offerings in this palette.
References to pop, abstract, impressionist, classic and digital art can be found in
the intense yellows, hot blues, burnt pinks
and sultry greens.
Spirited neon-inspired colors paired
with a twist on neutrals bring the 30-shade
color collection together to create a dar
ing palette full of digital inspiration. The
versatile hues included in this palette are
capable of being used alone or as part
of a layered design. Several of the colors
in this palette are Briquette (PPG1218-
6), Orange Poppy (PPG1196-7), Crushed
Pineapple (PPG1213-7), Leap Frog
(PPG1225-7), Sorcerer (PPG1240-5) and
Whirlwind (PPG1013-3).
Co-Leidescope
Worldly Possibilities
This trend focuses on a growing global
eclecticism that is ethnicity-inclusive, cul-ture-inclusive and co-existence-inclusive.
The glamorous fusion of worldly possibilities is conveyed in the deep jewel-toned
purples and greens, spicy reds and golden yellows. A balanced mix of colored
darks and faded midtones are a result
of inspiration sought from the time-worn
hues of once-brightly-colored mosaics,
encountered by countless individuals in
their travels. The palette as a whole draws
inspiration from multiple worldly regions
and influences, while its luxurious overtone adds charisma that lends well to the
ever-evolving gypsy jetsetter, or “
gyp-set,” consumer.
The palette features the Color of the
Year, Blue Paisley (1238-6). Some of the
other 29 colors featured in this palette
are Ruby Lips (PPG1052-7), Gothic Gold
(PPG1208-7), Blue Bayberry (PPG1149-7),
Deep Emerald (PPG1148-7), Royal Indigo (PPG1174-7) and Night Rendezvous
(PPG1037-5).
Introsense
Quality Possibilities
The blending of nature, solid design and
technology creates the “Introsense” pal-
ette, full of calming, soulful shades. Zen
neutrals coordinated with easygoing
blues and indulgent pinks simplify the
homeowner’s quest for privacy, anonym-
ity, timelessness, quality and peace. Part
of the uniqueness of this 28-shade palette
stems from its nuanced neutral shades,
which are actually less-than-neutral colors
such as pinks, purples and blues, mel-
lowed by their gray, brown, black, taupe
and beige undertones. The other stand
out feature of this palette is its soft tints, cre-
ated to add an inimitable factor of serene
sensibility. As a whole, this trend palette
serves as an introduction to a new direc-
tion in minimalistic styling that blends clean,
pared-down designs with quiet nature.
The soft blues, greens, pinks, purples
and coral hues paired against the light
neutrals yields a soothing new direction
that plays out in architecture, automobiles,
tech products and more. Some paint col-
ors included in this palette are Lost Love
(PPG1047-2), Ancestral (PPG1047-4), Ir-
radiant Iris (PPG1171-3), Spruce Shade
(PPG1136-5), Sahara Sun (PPG1064-6) and
Carob Chip (PPG1047-7).
Each of the four Possibility trend palettes fully embodies the unique consumer striving to express optimism for the
year ahead through home decor selections. While technology has become an
inevitable component of daily life, each of
the four themes personifies technology in
its own unique way. For example, Good
Life incorporates the styling of technology for purposes of making usage easier
and friendlier by implementing simple
shapes in optimistic colorways. I’m Pulse
recognizes that just as technology allows
users to add and update in real-time,
homeowners should be able to add and
upgrade various elements of design as
they please. The realization that tech
products now fulfill a fashion need rather
than a mere functionality need encom-passes the global traveling persona of the
Co-Leidescope theme. Introsense recognizes that the styling emphasis of tech
products generally takes rounded form to
indicate softness rather than intimidation.
The 2015-2016 Possibility trend palettes, along with 2,000 additional colors
in The Voice of Color program, are available in any of the PPG Pittsburgh Paints
lines, including PURE PERFORMANCE
