Feel the Sweet Embrace™ of AkzoNobel’s Colour of the Year 2024
If any colour could give a home a hug, it’s Sweet Embrace (Executive 70RR 64/034), AkzoNobel’s Colour of the Year 2024. The pastel pink shade, inspired by soft feathers and evening clouds reflects extensive research into global social, design and consumer trends for 2024 which found that, in an uncertain world, we’re on a quest to belong. Identified by in-house paints and coatings colour experts and international design professionals, these three trends will influence how we live in the coming year. As part of the 2024 ColourFutures™ colour trend report, three decorative paint colour stories have been designed around Sweet Embrace to help consumers choose on-trend and harmonious wall colours that showcase their unique personalities. The warm colour story reminds you of home, a place that feels comfortable and safe, and combines shades of stone, soil and clay. The calm colour story evokes thoughts of nature and the essence of life, bringing together the soft greens and blues of the woods and sea. Lastly, the brand’s uplifting colour palette puts a smile on your face with dreamy lilacs and modern yellows.
