AkzoNobel, global paints and coatings company and the makers of Dulux paints in India, presented monarch gold as the colour of the year for 2016.
Developed by the company’s Global Aesthetic Center in collaboration with leading design and colour experts from around the world, ColourFuturesTM 2016 is inspired by contrasting opinions, with ‘looking both ways’ being the driving influence.
This year, we find ourselves at a unique crossroads where we can see the advantage of both tradition and modern innovation, where the importance of weighing opposite opinions and views has never been stronger. Monarch Gold also weaves in beautifully with India’s affinity towards gold that is deeply engraved in the country’s culture, architecture and heritage, stated a press release.
Rajiv Rajgopal, director, Decorative Paints, AkzoNobel India, said, “In 2015, Dulux has launched innovative paint products such as Dulux Velvet Touch Diamond Glo, with the dazzling glow and strength of a diamond; Weathershield Powerflexx, with rainproof properties and Super Cover with its colours of the world. These innovations have successfully appealed to not only the aesthetic sense of our consumers but also catered to the need of protecting the walls of their homes. In our endeavour to invigorate deeper into trends, AkzoNobel ColourFutures is our global colour trend guide that is aimed at inspiring everyone when decorating a space.”
