CMG meetings, and Dream Orange from Asia Pacific meetings, all occurring in 2020. Re-Source is a happy, peachy orange, that is spicy and feels almost aromatic. It is considered a color for connection to daily activities with exercise, music and sports vital components of everyday life. The slightly lighter Dream Orange is a fresh take on colors of communication and suggests action from the personal sides of life as well as society in general. They are both colors of energy and warmth, power and commitment.
With the unique qualities of orange (“nothing rhymes with orange”), come myriad ways to make the color an outstanding element in design. Appearing in varied applications from automotive exteriors to commercial interiors, residential home and decor to recreation and sports vehicles, Re-Source and Dream Orange come alive as brilliant, uncommon elements in uncommon times. In addition, consumer goods, fashion & accessories, and visual communications will take advantage of the power of these oranges to add freshness and vibrancy to their product lines.
They can be enhanced with glossy sheens to become almost liquid or shimmer with metallics. The looks would be astounding on a car or ATV as the color undulates along the surfaces and makes something look fast even when standing still. Sports have always embraced orange and will offer the color across the board in sports gear and accessories. Viva la orange tennis balls and bright snow boards!
