The smallest things in our lives can often have the biggest impact. It might be sunlight on the side of a building, a kind word from a stranger, the texture of a pebble on the beach – or the colour of the room in which we wake up each day. These are the nuances of everyday life – the seemingly tiny things that end up defining our days.
The colours around us influence our emotions – even our energy levels – but they don’t have to be vivid and dramatic to do so. In the newly launched global Colour Card 2025, NUANCES, Jotun celebrates the subtleties of shade and colour that can do so much to determine the atmosphere of a space and the feel of the home.
Launching in October 2024, Jotun’s NUANCES Colour Card showcases a collection of 30 colours in six families – blues, greys, peaches, yellows, beiges and greens – each featuring four nuances of varying intensity and one accent colour. The card is designed to serve as both a resource and an inspiration, guiding people towards the perfect nuances for the atmosphere they want to Create.
“Bold colours may have the most obvious visual effect, but even the gentlest shift in shade can alter the mood. We respond to the tones, hues and shades we encounter every day on both conscious and unconscious levels. In our homes, and on our walls, it’s often the nuances that make all the difference.” Rana Khadra, Colour and Creative Manager Middle East, India and Africa
The Global Colour Card draws on the proven principles of colour theory to provide inspiring, practical guidance on how to use layering, monochrome, and variations in intensity to create depth and impact.
The card is illustrated with beautiful interiors photography that brings the 30 colours to life in the home and features a specially commissioned large-scale artwork by French-born artist Agathe Berjaut, featuring several of the shades in Jotun’s 2025 palette.
