The timeless, natural beauty of Australia’s diverse landscapes is the inspiration behind Haymes Paint’s 18th annual Colour Library. The Colours of Australia palette features 40 colours that reflect our natural environment, from the Dusted Tan of the Fleurieu Peninsula in SA and the Awe Inspired of the Blue Mountains in NSW to the Light Stone of the NT.
The refreshed palette, which also includes 10 of Haymes Paint’s most popular whites, is forecast to set the tone in paint colour choices in 2025 as Australians look inward for stability and familiarity. It is a palette that reinforces the sanctuary of our homes in the face of an uncertain and everchanging world.
“We are proud to introduce Colours of Australia, a palette grounded in almost 90 years of experience at Haymes Paint and as timeless as the land itself,” said colour lead Rachel Lacy. “The palette is an enduring rather than purely trend-driven collection, with the colours remaining as steadfast as the land. It is our homage to the rich and diverse landscapes of Australia.”
The Colours of Australia palette is designed to encourage consumers to take the plunge with colour by making it easy to choose combinations they might not otherwise have the confidence to try.
“Each colour has been meticulously chosen to work together cohesively. There are no wrong answers with this palette, and we want people to feel empowered to embrace colours that are familiar to them through our natural landscape,” Rachel said.
With the Colours of Australia, Haymes Paint has created an essential colour palette for interior designers and enthusiasts alike, empowering them to embrace their full creative potential and achieve design excellence.
Haymes Paint is the largest Australian made and owned paint brand. Established in 1935, the family- owned business has maintained its head office and manufacturing in Ballarat.
