View(s):
Nippon Paints launched nine new colours, for 2016-2017 – Founder Blue, Volcanic Black, Being Peach, Fast Car, Green Tuft, Tavern Buff, Lush, Blue Lullaby and Grey Knight as their fashionable in-scene additions to their range.
Speaking at the launch to a gathering of industry professionals, Assistant General Manager Nippon Paints Lanka, Nimantha Abeysinghe said it was the first time that the brand had rallied together experts from the region to design the nine shades.
A comprehensive colour manual was also launched, listing the in-trend complements and contrasts. Hoping architects and interior decorators will strategically hone these hues he felt it presented a moment of much pride to have a region specific palette. Predicting trends for each region is a global reality which Asia wasn’t previously a part of he shared, until now.
Chief Guest at the launch was Vice President of Sri Lanka Institute of Architects, D. H. Wijewardene who spoke of Sri Lanka’s rich heritage of understanding colour. Drawing attention to the Sigiriya frescoes, he said “no one can say the shades are mismatched.”
