		<description><![CDATA[Summer in South Africa is synonymous with water. From coastal family holidays to poolside braais, we flock to our blue expanses for some cool respite from the fierce sun. But there’s another, subconscious, reason why water is so important to our health and happiness: being in or near blue spaces, such as rivers, lakes and seas, substantially boosts our emotional wellbeing. At a time when concerns for our health and that of our planet are high, blue offers a sense of calm and optimism for a lighter and brighter future – which is why Plascon selected a trio of blues as its Colour Combination for 2024. Now, in preparation for the upcoming hot season, Plascon has released its 2023/2024 Summer Colour Palette. ‘Dive In’, an ode to aquatic-inspired hues, captures the essence and tranquillity of clear ocean waters, with eight carefully curated colours for both interiors and exteriors. &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; &#160; The brightest of the shades (which happens to also be the most prominent of the three colours in Plascon’s Colour Combination for 2024) is Caribbean Sea [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As the rays of the sun temper and the air begins to chill, we turn to our homes and loved ones for comfort and warmth. For autumn 2023, Plascon has captured this transitional period with Drift, a selection of decoratively diverse pastel hues that inspire peace, relaxation and joy. &#160; Traditionally, autumnal palettes tend to capture the changing natural landscape as leaves fall from the trees in hues of reds, oranges and yellows. Bringing its unique outlook to design trends, Plascon has instead selected colours that look inwards, highlighting the emotional and personal elements of seasonal change. &#160; Evoking that deliciously hazy feeling between sleep and consciousness, this combination of pale neutrals and balmy pinks and blues was inspired by watercolour skyscapes, misty mornings, stark desert landscapes, blushed cheeks and plush bed linen. This emphasis on sleep and relaxation is in line with global trends towards rest and wellness in a post-pandemic society in which calm and peaceful colours will guide us through turbulent times. &#160; Plascon has opted for a selection of uplifting pales that sets the scene for rest and relaxation. Evening Mist (1), an off-white hue reminiscent of sandy shores, is the ideal neutral background, while Divina [...]]]></description>
