Roots of Renewal
Resilient Contrast
The palette of Roots of Renewal is based on neutrals that range from browns to a dark grey. The palette is a shift from last year that was based on greens. The 2027 range is inspired by the Earth, clay, rock and wood. A camouflage palette that can adjust to rough terrains without trees or foliage.
The orange-red colour is a warning, it stands out and attracts attention. This colour is not just an accent but a statement, symbolizing the critical state of the planet and the need for awareness and change. A reminder that time is pressing, and action is necessary.
The dark grey tone sets off the other shades and emphasizes their nuances. This grey is not flat or lifeless, it carries undertones that shift depending on the light, adapting to its surroundings. It serves as a bridge between the warm browns and the bright orange-red, reinforcing the contrasts while maintaining cohesion. It mirrors the role of shadows, defining form, adding dimension, and creating a resilient base.
