Mellow yellow: BeautiTone unveils 2024 Colour of the Year, ‘Illumina’

BURFORD, ONTARIO – September 13, 2023 — BeautiTone, the number one Canadian-made and owned retail paint brand, has revealed its 2024 Colour of the Year, “Illumina” (TR24-3-1), a soft yellow with notes of red, a nostalgic pop of cheerful colour.

The name “Illumina,” derived from the Latin word for “illuminate,” speaks to the colour’s ability to lighten up any space, from the kitchen to the bedroom, inspiring a sense of clarity and wellness and sparking feelings of hope.

“‘Illumina’ is an inspiring choice for 2024 as Canadians embrace a sense of careful optimism for the future,” said Kristen Gear, Lead Design & Colour Specialist, BeautiTone Paint and Home Products. “With ‘Illumina’, Canadians can create a space that feels both engaging and relaxing, a combination created in part by introducing a hint of red into the yellow.”

Yellow, often associated with positivity and creativity, is the brightest colour on the visible spectrum, making it a typically bold paint choice. But the muted tones of the 2024 Colour of the Year make for a quieter rendition of the striking primary colour, inspiring a joyful sophistication that warmly invites guests into your home to escape a world of distractions and demands.

2024 Colour of the Year - Illumina

As we move into a new era of colour, “Illumina” is setting the stage for a new direction. The colour represents a shift forward, beyond the desire for simplicity and ease, and toward inspiration and renewal. The centrepiece of the BeautiTone 2024 Colour Trends, “Illumina” is one of seven beautiful hues in the 2024 colour palette, along with four supporting neutrals.

“The trend colour palette for 2024 evokes a sense of clarity, infused with organic and natural influences,” said Gear. “These hues are beautifully paired with invigorating blues, poetic reds and a calming purple.”
