• Colour of the year

AkzoNobel has named Soulful Sage as Interpon's 2027 color of the year, reflecting the growing influence of softer, nature-inspired color palettes and natural materials in contemporary architecture. 

Available in the Interpon D2525 range of superdurable powder coatings, Soulful Sage is a soft green with subtle grey undertones to a wide range of powder-coated products. Soulful Sage is the centrepiece of a palette of nine complementary creams, greys and blues. Developed by AkzoNobel's Global Aesthetics Center, the 2027 Colour of the Year draws on more than 30 years of color research, global trend analysis and collaboration with color experts, architects and designers.

Jorrit van Rijn, global marketing manager, AkzoNobel Powder Coatings, says: "When architects specify colour, they're making a decision that can define the character of a building for decades. Soulful Sage captures a colour direction that feels contemporary today and relevant for decades to come, while the proven durability, color retention and sustainability credentials of Interpon D2525 give specifiers confidence that their original design intent will endure." 

As part of the Interpon D2525 portfolio, Soulful Sage combines contemporary aesthetics with outstanding weatherability, color retention and superdurability, helping preserve the original design intent while reducing maintenance requirements throughout the life of the building or product. 

All colours in the 2027 palette are available with warranties of up to 25 years when applied by an Interpon D approved applicator. The Interpon D range is supported by an independently verified Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) and meets Qualicoat Class 2 and GSB Master certifications, as well as the performance requirements of AAMA 2604, giving specifiers confidence in both sustainability credentials and long-term performance.
