WELCOME FOREWORD We’re excited to present the fourth edition of Trend Beyond Colours for 2024-25 in a continuing collaboration between Nippon Paint and Colour Hive. Interpreting the influences that will inspire future trends is an intricate balance of imagination, creativity and science. Our previous edition, RESET was a post-pandemic desire for a ‘full stop and restart’. Now, it’s time to AWAKEN, move forward, open our eyes and see ourselves and the world around us with a refreshed attitude. It’s time to rediscover the power of quiet, the beauty in harmony, the strength in renewal and the joy of self-expression. The central theme for Trend Beyond Colours 2024-25 sees us embracing this fresh mindset. We’re considering how we can livebetter, feel better and be better, both as individuals and as part of a global community. This is more than simply moving forward; this is waking up to a new dawn and moving forward with optimism and purpose. In this book we’ll explore four influences and trends that express diverse elements of our central theme, and for each of these you’ll be introduced to a key colour that encapsulates the essence of the story. Whether it be in the home, a commercial environment or a community space, as you turn each page, we hope you experience the power of colour to express your feelings and create positive moods.
