Clariant’s Global Colour Card presents four important colour themes which dominate the 2010 Spring-Summer season: African Gold inspires a palette of beaten gold, red madder and spicy pigment colours. Grow Your Own is aimed at ethically aware consumers thinking carefully about all aspects of their life including what they wear. Natural tones are their priority. Green is no longer the only eco colour. Vibrant organic shades including Cranberry, Blueberry, Lemon and Lettuce Green take a lead within this colour theme. Coastline reflects paler shades which have been creeping back into fashion. Salt stained pales take on the colours of wet sand, pebbles, blue horizons and tousled haired surfers.
The fourth colour theme Cocktail Fizz combines brights and pastels with a hint of the fifties for a high summer story. Lazy summer days of hot sandy beaches and ice cool drinks bring to mind a cocktail fizz of sun-bleached colours.
The four colour directions create a perfect balance for this happy summer season. All colours are illustrated on real leather samples showing the Wet End formulations which incorporate Clariant’s Melioderm dyes to cover all dyeing requirements for these exciting new concepts. The Finishing recipes are based on Clariant’s innovative Neosan 2000 and PPE Pigment range.
