Crayola hex codes for all 133 colours

In the latest edition of Mix Trends we introduced a new section called Web Tones-Using Colours Online, which provides users with the hex codes for each of our colour palettes and advises how to use these colours successfully in digital design.

 And it’s seems we are not the only one dishing out hex codes as we found the codes for all 133 Crayola colours on Wikipedia, each of which provide you with a match for the colour created by the crayon.

 So if your digital design needs a little brightening up bring out the crayons and try a touch of  ‘Atomic Tangerine’, ‘Purple Pizzazz’ or ‘Screamin’ Green’. Fun and productive, just what we like!

Visit the Mix Trend Wall at the Surface Design Show, London

To celebrate our first visit to the Surface Design Show, London,  we have teamed up with the British Contract Furniture Association to bring you a preview of out trends for Spring Summer 2012.

The trends, which are taken from our colour forecast book Mix Trends, will be showcase through the Trend Wall installation, which will highlight the key characteristics for each trend and show how these translate in to the surface market with product examples over 30 companies.

In addition to the installation we will also be running various seminars, giving you the opportunity to learn more about the trends and speak with our in-house colour experts.

The show runs Tuesday 15 – Thursday17 February and registration is free on the Surface Design Show website. Hope to see you there!
