Every year colour experts from the design field and from leading paint manufacturers chose their Colour of the Year and publish their Colour Forecast. Frequently the main trending colour is accompanied by a colour palette with hues to perfectly compliment the Colour of the Year.  
These trending colours don’t only show up as paint colours for our homes, but they are visible in all the creative industries from fashion to interiors, and from graphic design to technology. For 2023 we see richer colour tones compared to 2022, but we continue to get a lot of colour inspiration from nature.
