C2 PAINT ANNOUNCES 2019 COLOR PREVIEW
THE TIMELESS PALETTE: SAND AND SEA
(Buffalo, NY – November 2018), Buffalo, NY-based C2 Paint announced their Palette Preview for 2019. After surveying their dealer network – that spans across North America – and consulting with interior designers, they created a timeless, harmonious palette that represents the delicate dichotomy between the boldness and serenity of the sand and sea.
“This palette represents our desire to reconvene with the beauty of nature. Its natural grace and harmony allow us to recharge, reconnect and reignite our creativity – and our humanity. Nature is, after all, the greatest curator of color,” said Philippa Radon, colorist for C2 Paint.
From the frothy warmth of Milk Moustache, to the sandy, camel notes of Karma to the mysterious green-blue shades of Churchill and Mediterranean, each tone welcomes the beauty of the outdoors into the home.
