hades 2015 of 2015 looks like Lanzarote’s year if the the Pantone colour guide for spring is anything to go by. The hotly awaited colour report for 2015 will influence catwalks and interiors throughout the year, and many of the colours that are the hottest this year couldn’t be more Lanzarote-oriented. T he overall palette of 10 colours seems at first sight a little more subdued than in previous years – there are many tasteful blues and neutrals, and just one or two eye-popping shades. However, this is just reflecting a general tendency to “unplug”. We live so much of our lives being bombarded by the super-saturated colours on our mobile and tablet screens that sometimes it feels we are literally being candy-crushed to death by sensual overload. There´s always been a reaction to this, of course, with the muted tones of Instagram already having been adopted by hipsters for years, but this year is not so much about a natural on-screen experience as life away from the screen altogether. n Kind of Blue Blue dominates the Pantone palette for 2015, with three distinct and equally attractive shades. First, there is aquamarine – a light blue that reflects the cloudless skies that are part of almost every day on Lanzarote, as well as the oceans that surrounds our shores. It´s cool, classy, elegant and one of those colours you can see everywhere on this island. It´s also mild and unassuming enough not to dominate. Scuba is deeper and more vibrant, a medium-shade blue that remains cool while leaping right out at you. It’s the sort of shade that hints at sub-tropical oceans, blue lagoons and pure pleasure. Classic Blue completes the Pantone triple whammy, and it’s the perfect shade to S ubscribe to azette The The Canary Islands & Spain 2€ per month - Total 24€ per year Delivered to your door every month from €2 The Rest of Europe 8€ per month - Total 96€ per year For Visa or cash payments please contact the office directly on: +34 928 511 515 - [email protected] Post details to: PRETINSA QUALITY S.L.
