This year is all about soft colours, explosive tones and unusual combinations.

  • Red coupled with purple yields a burgundy, even a brick red; tinged with pink, it acquires a fresh andlively feel.
  • Sprout-inspired greens shot through with yellow confer an all-new softness. A small amount of blue creates a fresher and more metallic effect.
  • Violet, last year's star colour, warms up when red is added.
  • Grey, the new neutral, is now a classic available in several shades. It marries well with all colours and has a place in decors traditional and contemporary. This year, a delicate touch of green lends a more subtle effect.
  • Orange is a budding star when it comes to warming up a decor.
  • Very pale or reddish blue has also found its way back onto designer palettes.
