The Colors of the Year from Mankiewicz include the shades 'Homecoming', 'Balance' and 'Pulse'. These colors are intended to reflect the spirit of the times. The Mankiewicz design team visited various international trade fairs this year and decided on this color palette after extensive research. The design is given a new dimension by the gloss level, structure and feel of the surface.
Homecoming in the sense of coming home
The green shade of 'Homecoming' was already very popular in neoclassicism, art nouveau and the seventies. The fine tinsel in the lacquer surface of "Homecoming" is reminiscent of the shimmer of velvet or a hand-glazed tile.
Fine structure in a warm wool tone - balance

Purist color nuances such as wool, hemp or clay bring calm and simplicity to the design concepts. On the one hand, this effect works as a visually and haptically pleasant, fine surface, while on the other hand 'Balance' can also work well with striking materials.
Pulse color with a strong character
The fine, matt effect and the slightly dusky red nuance of 'Pulse' give the shade a mysterious, dramatic quality. The strong flop creates clear contrasts between light and dark. However, when light falls on the shade, it appears to glow slightly golden red. The duality makes the shade exciting
