Milliken’s ColorDirection 2023: Bold Unity has created tones and contrasts that work together as a team, colors that can sing gentle harmonies or raise the roof with vibrancy. On the warm side of the color spectrum, there is Extravagant Orange, Radiant Rose and Sharply Citrus.
Warm Side of Color Spectrum
When it’s time to be sharp and fresh, nothing beats Extravagant Orange, a powerful and universal color that brings brightness to a world still waking up to new possibilities and that shouts for positive action and new hope.
Shining its bold strength through the color palette, Radiant Rose brings together a softer harmony of warmth and comfort. This is the tone of challenging norms and of working together to create new visual languages from an alphabet of color.
After quiet years in disconnected shadows, the world is starting to come together to be seen and to be bold. In contrast with the humble shades of softer colors, Sharply Citrus brings a call for attention and an urgency that dares to be noticed. This is the color to make it happen.
Milliken’s customized colorants make these shades come alive. Liquitint® combines dynamic colors with excellent processability for multiple applications including home and laundry care, compatible with the most challenging active ingredients while
Reactint® polymeric colorants for polyurethane (PU) add appealing color to products without affecting the physical properties of the material.
ClearTint™ color concentrates for NX® UltraClear™ polypropylene (PP) add vivid, transparent color and are compliant with safety requirements for food packaging.
