The issue with Pantone colors in paint
Pantone uses inks meant for paper or fabric. Walls reflect light differently. Because of that, the color in the guide won't look the same when you put it on a wall.
The solution: switching to NCS or RAL
NCS and RAL are the systems we use for opaque surfaces. Our machines find the match for any Pantone code instantly.
How to use the color of the year
- Paint one accent wall and keep the others in neutral tones.
- Apply it to doors or baseboards.
- Use it on window frames, balconies, or gates to update the facade.
Recommended finishes
Use Blatem Plus washable matte in high-traffic areas. For wood, choose Blatem Hidroesmalte water-based enamel. On outdoor metal, apply Blatem Hierroblat directly over rust.
