Inventive
Colour Mood
The colour palette for Inventive consists
of bright colours: yellow, raspberry pink,
emerald green and kobalt blue. How-
ever, much of the colour effect is defined
by material and techniques. Yellow is
made transparent in glass, pink becomes
powdery by applying it in resin material,
emerald green is used in a spray-painted
gradient effect on ceramics.
> bright colours
> colours defined by material use
> gradients, transparancy, saturation
Therefore, the application of colour is just
as important as the tone itself. New is the
use of a burgundy colour in combination
with the brights. And besides a lush red
and an orange with a coral hint, a basic
brick colour is used.

Introduction
About Colour
Cahiers
This Colour Cahier provides both a colour
mood, as well as accurate colour infor-
mation using Pantone colour codes. For
your business, you can use this guide as
a source of inspiration for collections and
projects. For developing products, you
can use the colour codes to communicate
with colleagues and suppliers.
Always use original Pantone swatches as
a reference. Colours displayed on screen
and in print are not accurate.
All trend information in the Craftscurator
Trend Guides and Cahiers is categorized
by style group.
Style Groups
Consumer needs are never literally
translated, they are used as guidelines. In
the European market there are different
style groups; clusters of consumers that
are attracted to a certain look, feel and
style. We have identified 3 different style
groups;
> inventive
> sensitive
> expressive
Besides colour cahiers, Craftscurator has
also publised 2 trend guides for 2015 and
beyond.
