PPG Debuts TRENDCAST
Styling Directions 2016
Color Toolkit
PPG has introduced the TRENDCAST
Styling Directions 2016 toolkit, which
helps design leaders in the automotive,
aerospace, consumer products, interior
design and architectural fields forecast
the colors, textures and patterns that
will define consumer tastes for the next
two years.
The colors in the TRENDCAST
Styling Directions 2016 toolkit for consumer products reflect the latest trends
in hues, tints, special effects and tactile sensations for coated surfaces and
substrates based on a consensus of 28
PPG global experts from the Americas,
Europe and Asia.
Inspired by visits from PPG’s con-
sumer styling team to four different
groups of “makers,” the kit draws en-
lightenment from the materials these
artisans use to design and craft finished
objects. Ultimately, the PPG color team
created an eclectic palette of 45 colors
and divided them into four color “sto-
ries,” each associated with a particular
trade or set of practitioners:
• I/M Perfect – Drawing on lessons
from surfboard glazier Nainoa
Speier, “I/M Perfect” revels in the
“perfection of imperfection,” invok-
ing a rich tapestry of earthy, organic,
authentic pigments and colors found
in nature.
•Hyper HD – Featuring dazzling
brights offset by neutral tonalities,
“Hyper HD” captures the essence of
San Diego’s Fab Lab art community
and founder Katie Rast. It celebrates
self-expression, glamour, freedom
and socialness through three-dimensional printing and the application
of loud, impactful colors.
• Lucid Dreams – Created as an antidote to “Hyper HD,” “Lucid
Dreams” conveys – in a soothing
array of muted pastels and light
neutral tones – the calm, lightness,
