The past two years have presented entirely new challenges and situations for all of us. There were new rules to follow and new behaviors to learn in order to adapt to a sudden new way of life. We faced times during which we had only ourselves and our immediate families for support and companionship - everything else had to be put on hold.
To remain safe, this time away was good and needed and it also helped us to identify the truly important people and things in our lives. It gave us the time to dive deeper into ourselves to find out who we really are, honest soul-searching for some or perhaps an opportunity to reposition ourselves for others. Now, we are looking forward! To reignite old passions and relationships! New experiences, lifestyles, and most importantly, creating new memories!
At the heart of it, this is what Clariant’s BU Pigments Decorative Color Trends 2022 is all about; the people and things that are most important to us, and those which fuel positive emotions.
Explore our Decorative Color Trends 2022 – “golden” with 40 new shades presented in four unique sets of colors. From cool and warm colors to naturally driven colors as well as a splash of glittery and eye-catching accent colors, there is a tone to suit all tastes to create a full color scheme for the home.
