Winter’s wondrously earthy palette

Winter’s wondrously

earthy palette

South Africa is fortunate to have a temperate climate with a relatively mild winter. The cooler winter months also make it a preferable time to visit game parks and reserves where wild animals tend to venture forth from the shaded shelter of trees and bushes during the cooler days and come out into the open to forage, making them more visible and easy to spot. Winter is thus a time that many South Africans associate with being out in the wild, and being close to nature, where the expansiveness of the great outdoors is driven home.

Plascon

This is why paint experts at Plascon have introduced their 2022 Winter colour palette that takes its cue from earthy, wide open spaces, our verdant land with its fertile soil, and those dramatic skies and sunsets you only see when you’re away from the city. Plascon’s new winter “Grounded” palette features a bouquet of earth-inspired colours that bring our famed bushveld and savannah landscapes directly to mind.

Connect to the earth with this palette of living nature hues

After long months of disconnection and isolation, our need to feel grounded and connected in the post-pandemic world is expressed through this sensitive collection of colours that responds to the zeitgeist in a heartening way.

Deep khaki green and a rich reddish brown are the stronger colours of this down-toearth collection. The rich and complex earthen Plascon Terra Nova (R6-D1-2) is matched in depth and saturation by the verdant green of Plascon Garden Seat (G1-E1-1).

For gentle balance, Plascon has added a harmonious trio of natural yellows. From the warm white of Plascon Moon Beam (Y5-A2-3), to soft Pear Fantasy (Y5-B2-1), and golden Plascon Desert Daisy (Y3-B1-2), you can use these natural hues together to bring a mood of grounded calm to your spaces.

These Grounded Colours are fantastic to use as standalone notes, feature wall moments of interest, and even in combination with one another.
