However, other aspects of winter, snow, ice and frost, lead into a panorama of conceptual neutral colours that are timeless and even seasonless in their sobriety. This is “Ambitious Sobriety”, a group of colours that allows form and function to cross the old European borders of East Berlin and Eastern Europe.

In complete contrast, the next group of colours, “Being the Fabulous”, leads straight into the splendid world of the ballroom. Perhaps a modern version of Vienna, these “sweeten up” colours bring a spectacle of luxury and glamour to a world of sugar frozen surfaces and theatrical colours.

From the ballroom to the rugged traditions of pioneers and cowboys, “Artisan Richness” means colours that provide toned-down charm as the natural energy of the trek to the west means traditional accents and nostalgic celebration as fashion dresses up for an evening of ho-down.

Finally, on the other side of the world, martial arts from aikido and samurai to ninja call for “Warrior Temper” colours that are striking and saturated. Here is the combat influence, the tribal approach and oriental authentic brought out in deep, extravagant colours.

Enriched with numerous fashion illustrations showing the derivations of these exciting colour palettes, the new booklet also contains a wealth of colour samples.
