We love discovering the latest volumes in the Haymes Colour Library. Haymes is always on the forefront of latest interior colour trends and styles.
They’ve just released the Volume 8 colour forecast, consisting of 3 themes — Stark Beauty, Strata and Pitch Dark — each with its own palette of nine colours.
“Volume 8 covers the diverse collection of colour and design directions we also see influencing the market globally. We’ve presented this volume in three distinct colour stories that we believe will work well across interiors, particularly in Australia,” explains Wendy Rennie, Colour and Concept Manager at Haymes Paint.

Stark Beauty
By combining the crisp colour combination of white and green, we also get this stark exciting colour. Further, Wendy says it’s a “newly crafted approach to interiors that blends together a soft minimalism with an almost Japanese aesthetic and sensibility.”
“The simple paring of subtle whites and bold leafy greens provides a palette that is fresh. New, energising and balanced,” she explains.

Strata
The Strata theme reminds us of the colour palettes used in the 70s. Now the earthy undertone and bold addition of cobalt blue gives a fresh new interpretation that makes it so now.
“Strata is a rich and earthy palette that mimics the colours found in the layers of the earth. The diversity of colours is reminiscent of those variations found in the environment.
“Featuring ruddy tans and browns, paired with lush deep greens found in fauna and plant life. There is a hint of sea blue which is complemented by neutral base colours.”
Pitch Dark
Luxe, moody and design-forward, are words that the Pitch Dark palette bring to mind.
“Pitch Dark is an undefinable palette that challenges the senses. It also plays on the idea of finding dark spaces more relaxing, meditative and exploratory. In the past this has been associated with more lighter colours.
“It’s a new way forward for interiors and the use of strong colours like blacks and dark charcoals, combined with rich reds, moody nudes and deep blue is a palette that is coming into its own.”

Hello, I know this post is old… but I was wondering where the blue sofa in the first picture in teh Strata collection is from? Merci!
Hi SG, I’ve been trying to find it but the closest I could find are from BoConcept – they have around 100 fabric options so plenty of blues to choose from. You can check out their range of sofas here: https://www.boconcept.com/en-au/furniture-shop/sofas ☺️
I was wondering where the green bedspread in the Strata collection is from?
Hi Sophie, I believe it’s the Moss linen duvet from Hunting For George here https://www.huntingforgeorge.com/ 🙂
Ooh I like those ‘pitch dark’ tones and the chocolate/moss bedroom combo from the ‘strata’ series. I would really like to experiment with paint colour in the new place but not sure I could be *quite* that brave! It’s funny how something so easy and cheap to change is hard to commit to but I wouldn’t think twice about buying a bright coloured couch ?
