Exterior Solutions

Trend service Colour Road: Building elements on the pulse of time.

Regardless of whether you observe them intentionally or merely catch a glimpse out of the corner of your eye: Windows, doors, and other façade components significantly shape the character of a building. They serve as functional building blocks while simultaneously reflecting the spirit of the times. 

A well-considered choice of colour can enhance architectural features, fostering harmony between them and their environment. Alternatively, it may rejuvenate outdated façade elements, bringing them into the present. 

The Colour Road trend service assists architects, building owners, and manufacturers of window profiles, doors, and other building elements. With a trained eye and extensive knowledge of colours, shapes, and decors, we provide dependable guidance on current and emerging trends every two years, while also identifying tailored solutions for every construction and renovation project.

Trend stories: Colour palettes with an external effect

Trend Stories are fundamental components of the Colour Road - concise narratives situated within a broader context. Each story integrates carefully selected colours alongside corresponding decors. These pairings produce a unique impact in facade design: they highlight architectural lines, establish focal points, and forge a link between design, materiality, and emotional resonance.

EMBRACE NEW PERSPECTIVES

EMBRACE NEW PERSPECTIVES means more than mere acceptance: it involves being open to new experiences, unexpected colour combinations and innovative concepts. At the same time, it challenges our preconceived notions, gain fresh insights, and expand our perceptions. At RENOLIT, we view colours and designs not just as individual tones and decors for Exterior, but as catalysts for creative design processes, as well as bridge builders between worlds, cultures and people.

The colour and design trends in the Colour Road 26/27 trend report are much more than just a collection; they invite you to view the world from new perspectives.

In an increasingly polarized world, it is a profound concern for us to create space for new perspectives with our Colour Road 26/27 'EMBRACE NEW PERSPECTIVES'. We are convinced that design and colours are powerful catalysts in this, enriching not only our surroundings but also our thinking, thus inspiring openness and connection.

A life in transition, new perspectives emerge. Our trend film invites you to accompany an inspiring journey of change and let new thoughts take their effect.

Trend Story #1 Roots of Memory

The Roots of Memory theme world showcases the cultural perspective. Here, colours and designs are inspired by memories, traditions and local references. They connect the past with the present and the future. The colour palette in this theme draws on craftsmanship and our cultural heritage to create associations of particular depth and authenticity. 

For exterior building components, the trend palette focuses on muted natural tones, dark accents, and authentic woodgrains. These combinations evoke authenticity and continuity – giving exterior elements a meaningful, elegant and lasting character.
