Crown Paints has launched its Colour Insights 2025/2026, a collection of five palettes designed to capture the essence of contemporary design.
These palettes – Co, Choreography, Disrupt, G-local, and Faraway – offer architects and designers inspiration and a versatile framework for designing impactful spaces that blend creativity with functionality:
- Co – A light and breezy palette that fosters productivity and relaxation.
- Choreography – An organic cocooning palette that evolves to the individual.
- Disrupt – A bold mix of shades that provoke interaction and emotion.
- G-local – A neutral base with subtle green and orange accents, merging tradition with modernity.
- Faraway – An iridescent and dynamic palette that enables individual expression.
Developed by a team of colour experts, the collection draws on global macro trends, including geopolitics, technology and lifestyle shifts. Each palette serves as a guide for crafting spaces that align with the evolving demands of modern projects and provide a balance between aesthetics and practicality.
All of the shades have been drawn from Crown’s Colour Edit, a compilation of 160 shades that reflect Crown’s investment in its colour services and commitment to helping architects and designers make more informed decisions with better outcomes.
Jemma Saunders, Colour Specialist at Crown Paints said: “We designed these colour palettes to be a toolkit for the design community. Each palette is versatile, forward-thinking and reflective of a world that’s constantly evolving – capturing the essence of today’s trends and turning them into something tangible for design professionals.
“To inform this year’s Colour Insights, we looked at everything from environmental changes to digital advancements, and how people interact with spaces. The palettes are the result of months of collaboration, pulling inspiration from a wide range of sources and perspectives.
“We’re very proud of the collection and can’t wait to see how architects and designers use our insights as a springboard for creativity, to bring their visions to life.”

Crown Paints 2025/2026 Colour Insights
Co
Co influences the creation of harmonious spaces, bringing a balance that can foster both productivity and relaxation. A mix of calming green and grey tones serve as a foundation for Co, while vibrant pops of yellow and red inject energy and joy.
The colour palette is intentionally saturated to maintain maturity and avoid overwhelming brightness, achieving a modern, neutral base that supports community and connection.
Choreography
At the core of Choreography is a melody of organic shapes, curves, and a rhythmic flow that emphasises sensory comfort.
Featuring warm, muted tones, like soft lilacs and greens, alongside deeper shades, the palette offers a calming and cocooning effect, that evolves to the individual.
Disrupt
Dynamic and high-energy, Disrupt provokes interaction and sparks emotion, offering a bold contrast to quieter, more personal spaces.
The synthetic, digital-inspired palette features clashing colours including electric blues and vibrant orange and yellow accents, combined with grounding grey tones.
G-local
Emphasising the fusion of local craftsmanship with global perspectives, G-local celebrates the intersection of traditional materials and new technologies.
A neutral base palette is accented with subtle injections of synthetic green and orange tones, reflecting the harmonious marriage of nature and innovation.
Faraway
A futuristic, personalised design experience, where technology enables endless possibilities for individual expression is at the heart of Faraway.
The palette features iridescent hues, with digital blues and purples balanced alongside warm greens to prevent coldness and reflect light in ways that allow each space to transform.
