TV SHOWS AND MOVIES TO INSPIRE YOUR HOME COLOUR

This “old is new” remix approach gives the series a unique aesthetic, like a time capsule preserving the crisp freshness of colours we’ve previously only seen faded and peeling in the real world.

Go neo-retro: With Coloursmith you can create your own unique colours using old photos as the reference palette for a fresh coat of paint.

Star Wars

Star Wars has a lot happening both onscreen and off. It was held up as an example of filmmaking for its use of special effects and storytelling, defining its genre with a string of sequels and spinoffs.

amidst all the lasers and robots is the craftsmanship that went into its cinematography. It is driven by a carefully chosen colour palette of purples that fade to red and blue at the edges, interrupted often by strobing splashes of neon colour in dimly-lit spaces. Glowing blue and grey spaceship interiors are nicely juxtaposed with the warmer, sandier colours and atmospheric reds, blues and purples of Luke Skywalker’s desert planet. Hero’s Journey: Even space knights need the right paint for the job. With two suns beating down all day, any desert moisture farm exposed to the elements should have a coat of Taubmans All Weather® Exterior.

We spend a lot of time trying to find ways to make our living environment tranquil, pleasant to be in, and a place where we can relax. But maybe that’s not what you’re looking for. Perhaps your work or lifestyle demands that you have cat-like reflexes and sleep with one eye open, always remaining both alarmed and alert. Well, there’s a TV show-inspired palette for that too. In the long-running TV series 24, set designers went with a gradient of Black Forest, Black Elegance, Black Pearl, Canyon Black, Black Night, and All Black. Accenting this inky atmospheric spread are Charcoal Heather, Grey Dusk, and Noir Nights—layered with alternating textures of carbon fibre sheeting, black iron grating and chrome railing to telegraph a foreboding sense of impenetrable security.
