Delve into seven sensational palettes specially curated by the Caribbean Colour Authority (CCA) - a collective of Caribbean designers and colour professionals who have come together to identify colour trends specific to the Caribbean countries they call home. Individually and as a group, they bring together their research and observations, knowledge of people and culture, to create thematic colour palettes reflective of the unique tastes and desires of the Caribbean.
As exclusive sponsors, The CCA Design Collection is available only from Harris Paints and BH Paints in Jamaica, who are proud to promote the vitality of the Caribbean and provide visibility and exposure for our local talent.
Spiritedly named “Caribbean Embrace” this palette joyously celebrates the unique bounty we experience through Nature’s gifts, our lives, cultures, music and communities. The upbeat collection is refreshingly modern and optimistic. It delicately balances serenity and vibrancy and features a crystal, watery blue, glistening aqua, soft sands and a sunburst of peachy-orange, creating a versatile and beautiful collection, empowering both subtle and dramatic effects in any environment.
Heading to Jamaica, the rich hues of Kingston’s urban landscape are celebrated in the “Jamaica Vibes” palette which evokes the essence of bustling city life, an eclectic mix of cultures, sights, and sounds. It speaks to the warm earth tones of aged brick buildings; sun-dappled markets filled with fruits and fabrics; reggae reggae-inspired hues that pay homage to the city’s rich musical heritage combined with a hazy blue of the distant Caribbean Sea.
Bonjou St. Lucia! “Ephemeral” is inspired by the tropical light that shapes everyday life in the Caribbean. Days of radiant sunshine capture the vivid hues of the tropical rainforest, the fruits and flowers bursting with colour as it dances through vibrant neighbourhoods. This palette celebrates a life lived outdoors full of lush vegetation, of the sounds of kids playing in the street, the chirruping of friendly conversation; it sings with the spirit of Community and Culture.
Taking you to Antigua! Wrap yourself in this soft yet sophisticated sun-soaked palette and drift away with the shades of the sky and the shallows in “Caribbean Heyday”. Reminiscent of pink speckled sands and the glittering shore, this dreamy palette draws on the joys found along the seafront and evokes long happy fun filled days of treasure hunting, laughing and lounging with a good book. Combine any of the colours with 0029 “Cherish is the Word” for easy breezy colour schemes that beckon.
Hello Barbados! An exuberant signature palette, it springs from a new sense of boldness in society. Barbadians are known for their high ideals and very strong sense of pride; and emerging from the epidemic there is less restraint. People want to be seen, heard and valued for who they are, flaws and all; they want to have fun. The “Bonafide” palette is about embracing your authenticity, celebrating the true you, and following your heart to achieve happiness.
St. Vincent and The Grenadines here we come! The towering Soufriere in the north of St Vincent is a dramatic and mysterious presence that characterizes this land. It is revered for its power but it is also the wellspring of lush forests and the dark, gleaming black sand beaches that surround its shores. “Gem of the Antilles” captures this intrepid spirit that is both daring and dramatic; an opulent scheme of rich deep intoxicating green, mysterious darks set alight by pearly whites.
