© ipcm iconic buildings or monuments, but rather to the appeal of the tints appearing in the most significant moments of their life. And, in doing so, they have answered perhaps one of the most difficult questions: is it possible to match a moment experienced at a certain time and place with a colour? Below is a description of the pigments associated with the six selected cities and the four colour samples obtained.

City colours from dusk to dawn

Colorstream® Lava Red - New York evening glow The luminous evening sun transforms the bustling city into a fantastic light scenario. Sky and water merge together to create a dramatic, glowing spectacle. The colours become warmer, milder and full of multi-layered shades. Building façades reflect an entrancing spectrum of red tones – red, violet, pink, dark red, lava red. The four stylings of the Colorstream® Lava Red series gleam with a wealth of highly chromatic red tones. Like a sunset, the fiery to glowing radiance of Colorstream® Lava Red gives the hues an eruption of nuances. Colorstream® Lava Red intensifies base red colours particularly well; it enhances them, and gives them a multifaceted nature. Colorstream® Lava Red can convert dark colours into spectacular compositions of lustre, glitter, chroma, and colour depth.

Xirallic® NXT Leonis Gold - Chicago golden times City life is still pulsating. Golden rays of light encase gleaming glass towers and unite the countless lights into breathtaking glitter and gold sparkle. Soft, colourful shadows and brilliant lights blur the line between light and matter. The four Xirallic® NXT Leonis Gold stylings bring to life this interplay of incomparably intense and glittering gold nuances. Dark, chromatic shadows provide an elegant contrast. Xirallic® NXT Leonis Gold adores dark base colours, with which it seems to merge. Therefore, the wonderful fluctuation of light and dark does not only appear very suddenly, but it also is shown to its best advantage. Xirallic® NXT Leonis Gold can create new, surprising colour effects with its pronounced, golden Living Sparkle® .

Xirallic® NXT Tigris Blue - Frankfurt blue hour Shortly before daylight fades, the light of the blue hour transforms the skyline into a dreamlike setting. Ordinary office buildings become the backdrop for a remarkable colour play from light to dark, from colourintensive to monochrome shades, from blue to black. The four Xirallic® NXT Tigris Blue stylings prove how new, exciting colours can be developed from neutral, classic hues. The hues surprise with not only a wealth of colour nuances but also a silverysilky shimmer. The harmoniously embedded Living Sparkle® glitters irresistibly in blue and silver shades in their colour surfaces.
