Color Inspiration 2016 includes four colour stories
'Power Play' echoes the erosion of convention. A blend of bold, saturated colours work together to tell the story of this new era of empowerment. Pink is reclaimed as a symbol of strength for both men and women, championed for its versatility and positive connotations.
'Basic Instinct' places emphasis on the constant and accelerating pace of change on our planet. As we evolve to cope with these changes, we look at the way life forms on earth manages the extremes in their environments – often with primitive elegance. Unique survival characteristics such as bioluminescence become a major inspiration, combined with unexpectedly colourful camouflage and fluorescent pigments that feature high impact hues found under the sea.
'Brain Reign' embraces a palette of cerebral hues that are engaged and plugged in. Electric blue channels the energy of synaptic exchange, while vibrant orange generates feelings of optimism and encourages positive consumer behaviour. Super-charged highlighter yellow is softened with transparency, and subtle notes of pale grey and blush offset and humanize this Technicolor surge.
'Divergent Desires' deals with the paradox of connected disconnectedness by exploring the convergence of technology and nature in unexpected and often ironic ways to reconcile these divergent desires. Products embrace natural materials and colour application while utilizing sophisticated technological innovation.
Colours are expressed with multidimensional finishes that showcase polymer creativity with an elemental edge.
Color Inspirations 2016 is just one of the exciting elements from InVisiO Color and Design Services, which leverages comprehensive color and materials resources from PolyOne to drive innovation in plastic product development.
