Last year Plascon become the first paint company in South Africa to present a Colour Combination of the year featuring three colours instead of the usual single one. This carefully selected 60-30-10 colour ratio represents the industry standard approach where 60% of a room is painted in a dominant colour, 30% in a secondary tone and 10% in an accent colour — a concept that makes it easier for users to achieve a balanced look and feel within a space.
Taking inspiration from the rejuvenating and restorative qualities of water, Plascon chose Caribbean Sea, a warm and vibrant turquoise with an invigorating green undertone as the main colour, accompanied by North Beach, a bold and saturated azure, and Aqua Pura, a paler blue highlight inspired by the sun's reflection on water to capture the full spectrum. When layered, this magnificent and harmonious trio of blues has been found to lighten the mood and alleviate stress within a space.
