Each color has an aura. To an extent, each color has a certain influence on us, and when arranged in an ensemble, they can yield an even greater impact. When combined, some are more aesthetically pleasing than others and each evoke a certain emotion or feeling. This is no more apparent than in Sherwin Williams? Colormix 2016. Colormix is a showcase done once a year and displays several groupings of unique color combinations which are predicted to be the leading color schemes in the year ahead. This year they revealed four major color groupings which each hold their own unique expressions: Pura Vida, Mas Amor Por Favor, Nouveau Narrative, and Trajectory. If you have any questions about this blog or color arrangements in general, we encourage you to seek a one-on-one consultation with Pro Painters, a Houston Painting Company.
Pura Vida
Pura Vida derives its color palette from nature. Whether it?s wind sheared limestone or the fading sunset, it borrows its range from a timeless cosmic spectrum. It also gains inspiration from the four elements: wind, water, fire, and earth. It is a rustic ode to everything that once was and everything that will be. In addition, the colors are also a beacon for healing. They are a gentle reminder to slow down, unplug, and live in the moment. You can find solace in these colors because they reveal an innate balance within us all, allowing us to breath and live well.

Mas Amor Por Favor
Mas Amor Por Favor is about change and frivolous engagements. It offers a unique juxtaposition of the youthful social media interactions of the 21st Century and the mirthful Rococo art movement of the 18th Century. It is a reminder to live and love for the sake of living and loving. Riddled with decadent floral pastels, it offers a simple, yet bold statement: stop and smell the flowers. It conveys fresh and whimsical emotions, while oddly still holding meaningful and conductive qualities.

Nouveau Narrative
The Nouveau Narrative is about the beauty of the story. We all have stories to offer and they are enriched by the profound experiences of our past. This color palette is filled with allegories of deep rustic sophistication which grants an aura of refined knowledge. It holds a finite link between the brass and brazen colors of the industrial age and the sharp maturity of the modern era. It is rugged, yet refined. It reflects the stoic wisdom of the past while holding a sobered gaze to the future. ?

Trajectory
Trajectory is the modern age incarnate. It is embodied by a sharp metallic spirit oscillating in a constant rigid flux. It?s colors range from a cool shimmering aqua to a deep hard-lined purple. Trajectory pays homage to the modern digital age and basks in its sedated sterile comforts. When used properly it can give the viewer a feeling of blissful control as well as an overall sense of balance and security.
