For the first time ever, style-loving Canadians will choose next year’s ultimate colour
Burford, ON (December 9, 2015) – Colour is as personal as it is powerful so Beauti-Tone, a division of Home Hardware Stores Ltd., is asking Canada to select its 2016 Colour of the Year. In honour of everyone who embraces style and appreciates that colour is at the heart of beauty, the Canadian paint leader has shortlisted four top trend colour picks for 2016 and is asking the colour-loving public to weigh in and choose their favourite.“
Canadians embrace great colour and style, and we know what we love,” says Bev Bell, Creative Director, Beauti-Tone Paint and Home Products Division, Home Hardware Stores Limited. “When we walk into a room and feel immediately grounded, it is usually because the colour speaks to us, making us comfortable and relaxed. Some of us prefer cool colours, others warm. The way we perceive colour is rooted deep within us. It’s something we are born with, just like so many of our best qualities.”

Each of Beauti-Tone’s four trend contendors for Colour of the Year will appeal to different people but they are all beautiful and very easy to embrace in our homes,” says Bell. “I can’t wait to see which one Canadians choose.”
Hot- Cha- Cha collate: A warming trend is in the forecast, moving away from cool greys to cozy, grounding earth browns. Hot- Cha- Cha collate is a flawless hybrid neutral, with grey, brown and red in the mix. It’s the perfect décor bridge from ‘what you’ve got, to where you’re going’. Best, since it looks beautiful combined with all colours, this fresh coat of paint won’t mean you have to replace the big ticket items in your decor. A nice warm hug from Beauti-Tone’s Comfort Zone colour card.

Japonica: Blooming beautiful, Japonica is an emerging chalky neutral dusted with rose. Somewhere between sweetness and sexy, this colour is NOT to be confused with dusty rose! Sophisticated, calming and confident, the perfect pink for all ages and genders. Complex simplicity from Beauti-Tone’s Style at Home card.

Beauti-Tone paints are available exclusively at Home Hardware, Home Building Centre and Home Hardware Building Centre locations across Canada.
