The latest colour forecast from the Australian brand’s Haymes Paint—Volume 16 Energy Shifts—is a selection of hues that looks to leave uncertainty behind. With this fundamental and tangible sense of shift rippling through us all, Haymes Paint has built a colour library to help us express ourselves and evoke certain feelings in our homes, whether that be nurturing sanctuaries, vital spaces of experimentation or creative havens that reflect our individual tastes. With this in mind, Haymes Paint’s Colour Library Volume 16 library explores three unique themes—Light Play, Carefully Nurtured and Live Wire.

The diverse range is handpicked by Haymes Paint who look internationally at Milan Design Week and beyond to devise a colour forecast that wholly fits our Australian aesthetic and sensibilities. Let’s dive in for a closer look.

CAREFULLY NURTURED

Colour can affect our moods and mindsets by encouraging a holistic and healing approach to our interiors. Carefully Nurtured offers shades specifically chosen to help heal, restore and reinvigorate our bodies and minds, so we can return to the world and give back in a positive way. The palette seeks to transform our homes into nurturing sanctuaries where we can retreat from the outside world and rejuvenate. Through soft soothing combinations like the shade Interplay 1 and neutrals infused with complex undertones such as Adobe, Carefully Nurtured is the perfect accompaniment to organic tones and natural materials like wood and leather, blurring the lines with the outside world.

LIGHT PLAY

Light Play is a fun and unexpected palette of playful colour combinations. The experimental collection contrasts bright and fantastical shades with newer shades that offer depth and intimacy in a ‘Yin and Yang’ combination that reinvigorates the home. Light Play adds a sense of vitality and energy to our interior, like the vibrant Botanist Green 13 pushing the limits with colour in a way that is neither fussy nor contrived.

LIVE WIRE

Live Wire captures the revived creativity felt by many of us, encouraging people to tell their own stories through colour and interior choices. The bold tones in this palette, combined with the use of pattern, define it as diverse and assured, demonstrating that what is right for one is not necessarily right for all. Taking a mix-and-match approach this collection explores a light and airy twist on the 60s, 70s and 80s vibe with bright hues complementing muted neutrals. From April Sun to Billabong Blue, the collection ignites nostalgia, creating the perfect starting point to pair old and new.

Haymes Paint Colour Library Volume 16 features several specialty finishes from the Haymes Paint Artisan Collection and Woodcare ranges. Artisan Rendercoat, for example, is a deeply textured effect that creates a sense of a natural and organic design. For those after a finish full of movement and depth, Artisan Metal Trace Course is the perfect addition. There is also a range of new shades introduced for Woodcare, from beautiful warm Cedar to Dark and Moody tones.

Haymes Paint continues to be Australia’s only Australian-made and owned pain company and in 2022, were proudly awarded Canstar Blue’s ‘Most Satisfied Customers—House Paint Award’ for the fifth consecutive year.
