The heart of the collection

The heart of the Color Now 2023 collection is the Colour of the Year, Rosy Moment V413. With its warm and comforting hue, this colour represents the bonds and connections in life. A muted rosy hue, that cocoons like a warm embrace.

This modern hazy pink tone is complemented by nine other paint colours ranging from peachy neutrals to vivid yellows, and rich tones of aubergine and moss green. A beautiful harmony of versatile colour choices.

Colour pairings

The collection comes to life in a home where colour is the star.

Choose lighter, cool-toned accents like Sea Smoke X447 and Silk Road S440 to play on Scandinavian freshness, or incorporate dark and delicious accents like Aubergine X501 or Grotto M449 for a trendy and unexpected vibe with a sharp finish. We particularly like these darker tones on a bedroom wall for maximum drama.

Better yet, experiment with colour proportions by combining cool and warm tones by selecting your favourite contrasting tones from the collection. This method adds dimension and interest to a space - and crucially, without having to resort to the colour encyclopaedia! All of the tones in this collection have been carefully selected by Tikkurila's colour experts to work in harmony with one another. So all you have to do is pick your favourites.

A little nervous about working bolder colours into your interior? Start small! Paint a piece of furniture, a door, or a small accent wall. Pairing with complementary neutral or muted shades will allow you to show some pzazz without overpowering the space.

Work in your favourite shades

Got your eye on a few colours? It's time to start testing!

Shades on a digital screen almost never look the same as on a wall, with lighting and scale playing a huge role in how colours present themselves on your walls. We recommend that you test your favourite Color Now 2023 shade(s) in your room. The idea is to take a closer look at how different colours look during the day with natural light and in the evening with artificial light.

Our Colour It sample pots are the most effective way to sample your chosen colours. 180ml of interior paint in our best-selling matt finish. Paint directly onto interior walls and ceilings to better understand how the final colour will look in your home with 100% colour accuracy.

The beauty of a home's interior design is that it is constantly evolving and changing. The colours in your home reflect the emotions and experiences of your life. Every colour of the collection works with multiple purposes so trust your intuition and choose the colours that speak to you the most.
