Haymes Paint has introduced three new colour palettes in their latest collection inspired by the concept of finding solace within the home space through colour.

Embrace, the new Haymes Colour Library Volume 14 encourages us to embrace the unexpected challenges of the current world. The three unique colour palettes – Calm Mind, Happy Home and Grounded – are characterised by tones that instil comfort and reassurance, allowing us to curate nurturing environments in our homes that shield us from the world outside.

The Embrace Colour Library features hues that are based on joy, youthful energy, serenity and hope.

Haymes Colour and Concept Manager Wendy Rennie says that “these palettes have been put together to provide colour combinations that offer not just notions of aesthetic beauty, but also capture certain sensibilities of ‘groundedness’, tranquillity and energy to embody themes that are more relevant today than ever before”.

Let’s explore each of the palettes in the Embrace Colour Library. 

Calm Mind

Calm Mind

The world is a noisy place and the only way we can find peace and calm is by looking inwards within ourselves. Let’s begin with the environments around us that we can control and discover different ways to relieve stress and promote self-care. The Calm Mind palette does just this by inspiring mental wellbeing through colour.

Calm Mind

Haymes colours used: back wall 'Pale Rust', 'Chinoserie' and 'Crystal Clear'

The soothing tones of creamy green and blue with muddied peach, pink and rusts create a tranquil fusion of colour that nurtures the mind and soul.

By emulating the nurturing vibe of a luxe spa retreat in our own home, the Calm Mind palette sets the tone for a calming atmosphere.

Happy Home

Happy Home

The Happy Home palette represents a relaxed approach to interiors with an uplifting array of hues that encourage joy. This palette is all about infusing youthful design elements into your home and injecting vigour and energy into spaces to refresh your senses.

Bold blues, rusty reds and pops of bright yellow bring a sense of fun and hope back into our lives. The palette inspires interiors that are characterised by quirky styling, bold colour blocking and notes of zesty exuberance.

Grounded

Grounded

The earthy tones of the natural world are the inspiration behind the Grounded palette, with the colours bringing the serenity of Mother Nature inside our homes and reinforcing our connection to the land.

Deep tones of ink blue and warm sandy neutrals with olive greens emulate the calming force of the ocean, earth and forest. These colours help us create spaces within our home that neutralise the chaos and turbulence of the world outside and envelop us in a comforting embrace.
