The Four Color Categories that made the cut are called Bouyant, Chrysalis, Unrestrainted, and Voyage. There are 40 colors in the collection. They are divided into pastels, neutrals, primary, and bright groups.
Light pastels in the Bouyant palette express floral tones and optimism while reflecting natural space as a design element in our cities: Cape Verde, Wood Violet, and Coral Reef connects us with abundance! Try Coral Reef as an accent color on a door or as a companion for any neutral exterior colors.
