1. Classic Blue (Pantone)
The Pantone Color Institute (Pantone Color Institute) is a global specialist in the field of colors. For over 20 years, they have been inviting representatives of teams dealing with color standardization from around the world who, after stormy discussions, choose color for the next year. The winning colors later reign on the catwalks, in design and interior design.
This year, color experts have chosen a shade that “brings the human soul into peace and quiet, offering shelter” in our fast, technology-filled world. A timeless and durable blue shade, Pantone 19-4052 Classic Blue is elegant in its simplicity. It brings to mind the sky at dusk, calms you down and soothes you.

2. Naval (Sherwin-Williams)
Naval fits many styles. It can be used both in arrangements in an elegant New York style (it combines well with marble and gold), maritime (here it works in conjunction with natural materials: rattan, wicker, wood, leather, linen and neutral colors, e.g. off-white or sand beige), as well as modern or eclectic.

4. Tranquil Dawn (AkzoNobel)
AkzoNobel, the largest producer of paints and varnishes in Europe (owner of, among others, the Dulux brand) has chosen Tranquil Dawn as the color of the year 2020. This shade combines shades of gray, green and blue. Inspired by the colors of the calm, morning sky, it will give the interior an atmosphere of peace and coziness.
According to AkzoNobel, 2020, as the end of the decade, is also the beginning, the dawn of the new decade. In times of widespread digitization, the development of robotics and AI, people lack contact with nature. They need to stay indoors, which – thanks to the use of colors inspired by nature – are a peaceful haven that allows you to calm down, be yourself, catch balance and contemplate the future.
The Tranquil dawn color matches light wood floors and furniture, accessories made from natural materials such as leather and linen. It beautifully combines with silver, gold, copper, bottle green, rusty brown, cream beige or delicate gray.

5. Adeline (Graham & Brown)
Known primarily from beautiful wallpapers, the British company Graham & Brown announced dark green Adeline as the color of 2020. Green is a timeless color that refers to nature and vegetation, which is often lacking in our surroundings. Adeline is to refer to rural English gardens and extraordinary interiors created by the avant-garde group Bloomsbury, centered around the writer Adeline Virginia Woolf and her sister, Vanessa Bell. According to the manufacturer, thanks to the introduction of Adeline color into the rooms, you can get the impression of the transfer of nature from outside to inside.
The shade resembles the mature green of the leaves perfectly harmonizes with another color hit – Neo Mint. What colors is best to combine it with the interiors? Like dark navy blue, bottle green can be combined with metallic accents, e.g. gold or copper, and delicate pastels – powder pink, blurred blue, ivory white or faded yellow.

6. First Light (Benjamin Moore)
Pink remains the color trend in 2020. After the hype for millennial pink, the time has come for First Light 2102-70, a color created by paint manufacturer Benjamina Moore’a. The versatile shade, referred to as the “cheerful pink shade”, was chosen to “reflect the atmosphere of positivity” after entering the new decade. This delicate, airy pink shade is a refreshing alternative to other warm neutral colors, such as cream or beige. Therefore, Benjamin Moore presents First Light as a new neutral shade that is subtle enough to be used as a base for the interior.

Microcement colors
If you dream about the juicy colors of walls or floors and you want a durable jointless surface, you can use microcement. You can choose from a traditional two-component microcement from the Festfloor Life line, to which you buy the dye separately and dispense it yourself to obtain the desired color or ready to use, pre-colored Festfloor Go! Microcement, which can be ordered in any shade from the RAL and NCS palette.

We always recommend to make a sample of 2-3 shades before starting work. This is the easiest way to check how the selected shade will look on a particular wall or floor. When choosing a color, we should be guided not only by the nature of the interior and our own preferences, but also we should pay attention to the lighting conditions that will affect their perception.
If your project requires an individual approach and selection of colors, please contact us and we will help your.
