According to the fauvists, a painting had to consist exclusively of&nbsp;<strong>colour: its choice<\/strong>&nbsp;had to be rooted within the depths of the soul, of which is&nbsp;<strong>reflected the various emotional states<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>After all, this has always been the case:&nbsp;<strong>colours have a big impact on our emotions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Walking into a dark-painted room when we&rsquo;re feeling upbeat tends to oppress us and sometimes even influences our mood negatively. Likewise, when we&rsquo;re feeling very tense and are in a room where red predominates, our anxiety and irritability will be heightened.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Colour can also become<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>an instrument that helps<\/strong>&nbsp;&ndash; at least symbolically and psychologically &ndash;&nbsp;<strong>to lift our spirits<\/strong>&nbsp;in the wake of life&rsquo;s hardships.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s why we have decided to dedicate one of our first products for 2021 to the&nbsp;<strong>new colour trends for walls<\/strong>. We need fresh stimuli for a new future, but we also need to rediscover our certainties to lay the platform for a new start.<\/p>\n<p>Now, more than ever, colour can help us to overcome a terrible 2020 and imbue us with a new sense of hope capable of ending the nightmare we are still experiencing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoom-popup caption\" src=\"https:\/\/newvalpaint.wp.jef.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/01PittureDecorative_tendenze_colori_pareti_interne.jpg\" alt=\"01PittureDecorative_tendenze_colori_pareti_interne\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Pantone colours for walls 2021: &ldquo;Illuminating&rdquo; yellow and &ldquo;Ultimate Gray&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><\/strong><strong>Pantone<\/strong>, the most authoritative entity when it comes to&nbsp;<strong>colours<\/strong>, has proposed two colours&nbsp;<strong>for 2021<\/strong>&nbsp;that, despite being independent, can be used together to mutually enhance one another, namely<strong>&nbsp;&ldquo;Illuminating&rdquo;<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>yellow<\/strong>&nbsp;(13-0647)&nbsp;<strong>and &ldquo;Ultimate Gray&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/strong>(17-5104).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"Apple-converted-space\"><br \/><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoom-popup caption\" src=\"https:\/\/newvalpaint.wp.jef.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/02PittureDecorative_tendenze_colori_pareti_2021.jpg\" alt=\"02PittureDecorative_tendenze_colori_pareti_2021\" \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Symbolically, these two colours convey two different ideas but that can be regarded as complementary:<\/p>\n<p>&bull;&nbsp;&ldquo;<strong>Illuminating&rdquo; is a bright yellow<\/strong>&nbsp;shade that is bold and lively, symbolising positivity, vitality and the warmth radiated by the sun. It therefore embodies the concept of&nbsp;<strong>rebirth and optimism<\/strong>.<br \/>&bull;&nbsp;&ldquo;<strong>Ultimate Gray&rdquo;<\/strong>&nbsp;is a&nbsp;<strong>medium grey shade that embodies solidity, certainty and neutrality<\/strong>. We can imagine it as a neutral tablet on which we can choose what to write and how.<\/p>\n<p>The mood revealed by these two colours therefore aptly embodies the idea of a future erected on the certainties of the past, as we mentioned above.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoom-popup caption\" src=\"https:\/\/newvalpaint.wp.jef.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/03PittureDecorative_colore_pantone_preti.jpg\" alt=\"03PittureDecorative_colore_pantone_preti\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Colour ideas for walls 2021: yellow and grey in the VALPAINT collection of decorative paints<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>VALPAINT, an Italian company leader in the production of decorative paints, has incorporated these ideas to offer several products (through various colours) capable of enhancing the colours defined as the &ldquo;<strong>wall colours for 2021<\/strong>&rdquo;.<\/p>\n<p>The comprehensive study conducted in the in-house&nbsp;<a href=\"\/de\/forschungs-und-entwicklungslabor\/\" target=\"_blank\">Research &amp; Development Laboratory<\/a>&nbsp;has yielded a selection of decorative paints capable of optimally enhancing the effects and nuances conveyed by Illuminating and Ultimate Gray.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoom-popup caption\" src=\"https:\/\/newvalpaint.wp.jef.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/04PittureDecorative_idee_colori_pareti.jpg\" alt=\"04PittureDecorative_idee_colori_pareti\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Examples of colours for home walls: grey in the VALPAINT collection of decorative paints<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>With regard to grey (Ultimate Gray), VALPAINT proposes a series of products that optimally boost this nuance:<br \/>&bull;&nbsp;<a href=\"\/de\/alle-produkte\/prod\/meteore%2B10%2Bintonaco-48\/\" target=\"_blank\">METEORE 10 INTONACO Col. 425 B<\/a><br \/>&bull;&nbsp;<a href=\"\/de\/alle-produkte\/prod\/sabulador%2Bsoft-5\/\" target=\"_blank\">SABULADOR SOFT ARG. 100 Col. 449 C<\/a><br \/>&bull;&nbsp;<a href=\"\/de\/alle-produkte\/prod\/valrenna-10\/\" target=\"_blank\">VALRENNA Col. 425 C<\/a><br \/>&bull;&nbsp;<a href=\"\/de\/alle-produkte\/prod\/klondike%2Blight-2\/\" target=\"_blank\">KLONDIKE LIGHT Col. 448 A + G200<\/p>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoom-popup caption\" src=\"https:\/\/newvalpaint.wp.jef.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/05PittureDecorative_esempi_colori_pareti_casa.jpg\" alt=\"05PittureDecorative_esempi_colori_pareti_casa\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoom-popup caption\" src=\"https:\/\/newvalpaint.wp.jef.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/06PittureDecorative_colori_pareti_del_2021.jpg\" alt=\"06PittureDecorative_colori_pareti_del_2021\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Yellow in the latest trends for wall colours by VALPAINT<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>Illuminating features in the following VALPAINT products, which include both textures and nuances:<br \/>&bull;&nbsp;<a href=\"\/de\/alle-produkte\/prod\/polistof-13\/\" target=\"_blank\">POLISTOF Col. 417<\/a><br \/>&bull;&nbsp;<a href=\"\/de\/alle-produkte\/prod\/sabulador-4\/\" target=\"_blank\">SABULADOR MATT Col. 460 A<\/a><br \/>&bull;&nbsp;<a href=\"\/de\/alle-produkte\/prod\/valsetin%2B2-46\/\" target=\"_blank\">VALSETIN 2 709 ORO<\/a><br \/>&bull;&nbsp;<a href=\"\/de\/alle-produkte\/prod\/sabulador%2Bsoft-5\/\" target=\"_blank\">SABULADOR SOFT Col. 432 A ORO<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoom-popup caption\" src=\"https:\/\/newvalpaint.wp.jef.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/07PittureDecorative_catalogo_colori_per_pareti.jpg\" alt=\"07PittureDecorative_catalogo_colori_per_pareti\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoom-popup caption\" src=\"https:\/\/newvalpaint.wp.jef.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/08PittureDecorative_colori_per_pareti_soggiorno.jpg\" alt=\"08PittureDecorative_colori_per_pareti_soggiorno\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Interior wall colour trends for 2021: looking beyond yellow and grey&hellip;<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>Interior architecture and design in 2021 will not be dominated exclusively by these two nuances, however, as other colours are set to come to the fore in defining the aesthetics of new furnishing and interior design proposals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"zoom-popup caption\" src=\"https:\/\/newvalpaint.wp.jef.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/09PittureDecorative_tendenze_colori_pareti_soggiorno.jpg\" alt=\"09PittureDecorative_tendenze_colori_pareti_soggiorno\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>New wall colour trends for the home: blue<\/p>\n<p><\/strong>There&rsquo;s no doubt that blue was among last year&rsquo;s musts.
