This month’s trend colour: sundial

The colours of white and beige and all the soft, monochrome interiors can still be seen almost anywhere you go. But the spring-summer palette for 2023 reflects a sunnier, more optimistic outlook for the future. The trend towards reconnecting with nature means that organic, natural hues are becoming increasingly important. These earthy shades are increasingly resonating with the growing interest in craftsmanship, sustainability and a more mindful lifestyle.

The latest spring-summer colour trend: sundial

Sundial is a blend of orange-yellow and brown tones; a warm and sunny earth tone reminiscent of the saturated colours of turmeric, buttery leather and natural grasses and reeds. The ochre shade, derived from plants and minerals, satisfies the longing for warm, positive hues with a grounding effect. This natural colour also lifts the spirits.
