PPG: CHINESE PORCELAIN
PPG’s color of the year, called Chinese Porcelain (PPG1160-6), is a blend of cobalt and moody, ink blue that imparts calmness and restful sleep while also offering the spirit of hopefulness — a rare commodity in a restless world.
“The faster technology moves and the more convenience it offers, the more we seek activities, experiences, and lifestyles that impart slowness and realness into our lives,” explains Dee Schlotter, Senior Color Manager, PPG paint brand. “The need for simplicity and escapism from technology
is, in part, the reason that consumers are craving blues like Chinese Porcelain that bring us closer to natural elements such as the sea and sky — the horizon spot, creating serenity in any space.”
