A timeless favourite gets a modern makeover as Kansai Plascon unveils its refreshed Natural colour family – a grounded yet expressive palette that is part of the newly launched Plascon Colour Forecast 2025. This annual trend report, themed “Hybridity”, celebrates the merging of the organic with the designed, the timeless with the new.
Available now at plasconcolour.co.za, the Natural palette includes seven reimagined hues that bring softness, character, and a biophilic feel to interiors and exteriors alike.
“Natural is more than a colour story. It’s a mood, a state of mind,” says Leslie Frank, Head of Marketing at Kansai Plascon.
“These shades reflect the emotional richness of everyday life, the serenity of our landscapes, and a celebration of design that nurtures and inspires.”
Nature, Refined: Introducing the 7 Organic Tones
Plascon’s Natural family draws inspiration from South Africa’s diverse terrain, minimalist design, and earthy textures, making it ideal for creating calming and sophisticated environments. The palette includes:
- Acacia (86): The softness of beach sand and limestone.
- Canyon Wall (O3-C1-3): An earthy terracotta with contemporary elegance.
- Tuscan Wall (Y1-B1-2): A mellow golden yellow, sun-kissed and warm.
- Light Sage (84): A herbaceous green with gentle freshness.
- Bauhaus (Y2-E2-1): A muted mocha that adds stylish depth.
- Pale Honey (Y2-C1-4): Soft and creamy, like natural cotton.
- Buttery (89): A comforting tone that radiates quiet luxury.
These tones pair perfectly in tone-on-tone compositions or stand confidently as bold contrasts, making them ideal for homes, wellness retreats, boutique hotels, and commercial spaces that want to connect people back to nature.
Biophilic Beauty for 2025
The Natural family is perfect for fans of biophilic design—a movement that blends the built environment with the organic world. This approach has never felt more relevant in a time when people crave tranquillity, authenticity, and a deeper connection to nature.
“These colours are emotionally intelligent,” adds Frank.
“They aren’t just on-trend—they help people feel grounded, calm, and connected to something greater.”
