According to Sico colour experts, black paint highlights a
perfect mix of modern yet timeless sophistication and offers a
flexibility in design that is often overlooked. Similar to your
favourite black handbag, Cast Iron pairs beautifully with almost
any design style.
“Cast Iron is a perfect choice for do-it-yourselfers (DIY-ers)
who crave a grounded room that is enveloped in comfort and
coziness, beginning with their paint colour selection,” said Mylène
Gévry, senior marketing manager, Sico paint brand by PPG. “This
colour is hard to ignore and provides a certain grandeur or
simplicity to a space because of its flexibility.”
While black commands attention on its own, Sico colour experts
recommend pairing it with a variety of other tones. Layer this
deep, rich midnight hue with a variety of trending softer neutrals,
such as “millennial pink” Vanilla Orchid (6188-21), a nutmeg-tone
like Roma Antiqua (6231-63), a brown-grey like Flawless Grey
(6212-31) and a warm white like Zen (6222-11) for a tranquil and
minimal look.
To make a dramatic statement, pair Cast Iron with a dark
burgundy like Venetian Wine (6082-85), a mid-tone grey like
Industrial Grey (6212-52), a soft beige like Gobi Dunes (6194-42)
and an off-white like Ground Coriander (6218-21). Combined with
brass or gold accents, this colour palette will give the appearance
of elegance and luxury.
The colour was unanimously selected by PPG’s more than 20 global
colour stylists, who specialize in industries that include consumer
electronics, architectural, automotive and aerospace. These experts
study consumer insights, building material trends, décor trends and
more to select a colour forecast that resonates and is reflective
of current consumer attitudes.
“Sico paint’s Cast Iron colour perfectly complements the various
trending black building materials and home accessories that we’re
seeing in the marketplace. From timeless black windows to matte
black kitchen appliances, this hue will fit in perfectly with
modern or traditional design elements,” Gévry noted.
“Black is often overlooked and underappreciated when choosing
paint colours for the home, but its ability to refine, subdue and
add strength to a space makes it a perfect choice,” said Misty
Yeomans, colour marketing manager, Sico paint. “It brings solace
and a peacefulness to any space, creating a haven in which to
retreat from our always-connected, high-pressure society. Its
versatility in pairing with other colours adds to its allure in
home decorating.”
