Spring is here and that means a new color palette for event designs, but this season expect to see an interesting marriage of warm and cool tones. According to Pantone Color Institute warm colors like: Honeysuckle (vibrant pinkish-red); Coral Rose (sophisticated orange) and Beeswax (honey-yellow) will be seen paired up with cool tones like Regatta blue or classic Lavender. A fresh yellow-green (Peapod) is also expected to be seen frequently.
But how do these popular spring colors incorporate with your upcoming spring event? As a professional lighting company, we can guide you to decide which of these colors to avoid and which can take your event from mediocrity to success.
The bright pink-red Honeysuckle is said to increase excitement and to encourage action. This would be a great color to use for a corporate function or fundraiser. Coral Rose has the potential to encourage socialization; however, we advise to use this color with caution as it can create a “love it” or “hate it” atmosphere! Get the creative juices flowing or instill positivity by incorporating warm tones of yellow like Beeswax or Amber. Again, this would be a good color for corporate event design.
Complementary cool colors like Regatta blue can create a sense of serenity and intimacy. We would suggest using blue tones at personal functions like weddings or parties, as the color can relax guests a little too much (if you know what we mean). Lavender, or any purple tone for that matter, is at the top of the popularity charts right now. This is a color that can result in a successful outcome at any type of event . Green tones like Peapod are refreshing and natural, being a great backdrop to both warm and cool colors. But again, we advise to use with caution as many people associate this color with formal institutions like a government agency. So it all depends on what type of environment you want to create.
And there you have it….so spring into action and get to creating a colorful and meaningful event!
