Polisan Kansai Publishes 2021 Color Chart

Based on data from 3,750 mixing machines operated by Polisan Kansai Boya experts offering unlimited colour options, Polisan Kansai Boya created Turkey's colour map for 2021 based on the most preferred colours for interior and exterior facades. On interior facades, "Calm Grey", "Beach Beige" and "Marginal Grey" came to the fore, while on exterior facades "Bahama White" and "Stone Grey" were the most preferred colours, with 2021 showing a predominance of peace and longing for nature. The desire to create a peaceful and orderly environment became more pronounced in living spaces with the pandemic, resulting in many people making renovations to their homes. The effect of selected wall paint colours on the energy of spaces also stands out.

Desire for peace and order

Polisan Kansai Boya's 2021 Turkey Colour Map, which for many years has revealed colour preferences by geographic region through its data, shows that last year "Beach Beige, Calm Grey and Marginal Grey" were the most preferred colours on interior facades, while "Bahama White and Stone Grey" were the most preferred on exterior facades.
