Colour Directions AW 2023/24: Heartbreaker

August 01, 2023

A palette of interconnected hues transitioning from one to another in an almost musical scale. The monochrome duo of Jet and Primer White is the foundation to red-cast blues from Rainwater to Lavender Quartz and Iolite Blue. The blue-cast reds, from lightest Pink Pearl to Rose Opal and rich Red Velvet, mirror this flow.

First published in MIX Magazine issue 67, and explored in more detail in our AW 2023/24 CMF Directions.

Blue Scale

Transitioning seamlessly from purple-cast Rainwater through a tonal duo of red-cast blues, Lavender Quartz and Iolite Blue, and anchored with Jet, this colour combination exemplifies the objective beauty of Heartbreaker.

Gradient colour is a natural application for glass and textiles.

All Roses

The underlying femininity of the Heartbreaker aesthetic makes an exploration of rose pinks and reds a natural direction.

As with the blues, the smooth transitions between hues reflect ideas around the pleasure in harmony and structure. Blue-cast Pink Pearl and its tonal partner Rose Opal are framed with an intense Red Velvet and clean Primer White for universal applications.

Red-Blue Blends

With Red Velvet and Rose Opal cast with blue, and Lavender Quartz and Iolite Blue cast with red, this is a harmonious combination of connected colours designed to merge and intersect.
