Annual Color Theme Word: 

Reformation and Newborn

The globally leading color system NCS has released the 2025+Color Trends report, emphasizing the connection between humans and nature as well as the transformation of colors.  At the beginning of 2025, we have already felt that this is an era where AI is fully implemented and various industries are filled with new technologies. It is an era where people's lifestyles are undergoing tremendous changes.  The 2025+ Automotive color trend will enter an era full of natural, technological, and multidimensional cosmic elements.

Theme 1: Salute to Nature

Featuring blue and green as the main colors, paying tribute to nature. In 2025, green will still be a very dominant color scheme, but it tends to be blue-green rather than yellow green, reminiscent of the color of water resources.  Meanwhile, all the blue colors that evoke images of waterfalls, lakes, rivers, and oceans are becoming increasingly popular.  These colors represent our desire and actions to protect our home planet.

1. Blue Glacier

Creative inspiration: The pure and primitive scenery of Arctic glaciers is most touching with its enchanting and clear blue color, like the tears intentionally shed by God, inspiring people to take action to protect nature.

Theme 2: Enjoy traveling clansman by car

The light and smooth colors reflect a flowing state of mind.  In recent years, retired elderly people with silver hair have been advocating for a life of living abroad, while young people have also fled the pressure of cities and opened up "new countryside".  The reason why it is defined as a car dealership is to reflect the relationship between travel and cars, and to express the integration of nature and technology.  This is a set of color palettes composed of low chromaticity and high-tech colors, and environmentally friendly and low-carbon technological materials have also been added to people's expectations of color. The ethereal, lightweight, and transparent pigment characteristics create a technological atmosphere.

1. Determined Grey

Creative inspiration: Determined Grey is a hermit in color, not ostentatious but with a unique connotation, not overly deep but bringing calm power and the most comfortable feeling.  The high-tech products make autonomous driving worry free and allow you to reach your ideal destination at will.  The new material has stronger wave transmission characteristics and more visible radar waves. When mixed with pearl pigments, it reshapes the most popular metallic gray in modern industrial fields.

2. The hue of old silver

Creative inspiration: In the early spring morning breeze, the BMW 3 Series, which was diamond silver gray 15 years ago, is quietly parked on the small town tree lined road.  The picture is so clean and eye-catching, which makes people exclaim. "Owning a silver car that was once a dream, cool and glowing, quiet and fitting, is the coolest thing that New Technology has done!" The formula reasonably selects large particle size, high white bright SiO2 surface coated with aluminum pigment, which has a strong flicker and high brightness, completely different from the soft pearl effect pigment on mica substrate, reflecting hardcore technology and high-end feeling.

Theme 3: It's great

The current environment has led people to turn inward, focus on their own feelings, and trust their intuition and senses.  For example, the current booming pet economy also expresses people's inner transformation.  In color selection, people should evoke emotions of comfort, warmth, and joy.  Using neutral, warm, down-to-earth, and humanized tones, it showcases subtle and enduring power.  Explore color combinations that are not noisy but closely related to people, formed by mature pearl colors, non mainstream intermediate colors, and mid tones.  These colors are warm and simple, reminding us to examine our inner selves.

1. Wangcai Brown

Creative inspiration: During the journey of autonomous driving, people rest and unwind in comfortable cabins, admire beautiful scenery, and spend time with their beloved dogs.  People caressed the golden brown hair of 'Wangcai' and said, 'It's another journey full of rewards, happiness!'.  The addition of bamboo charcoal black in the color, taken from nature and returned to nature, reflects the action of pursuing the reduction of carbon emissions throughout the entire lifecycle of automobiles.

2. Bright eyes blue

Creative inspiration: Cats are aristocrats in the darkness, spiritual creatures that attract wealth and fortune!  It binds the times and accompanies people on their long journey.  People simulate the almond shaped blue color in the eyes of cats, and add nano titanium dioxide microcrystals to the coating, which not only gives the coating a soft metallic feeling, but also accompanies a pearl like feeling of cold and warm color tone conversion.  When you focus on observing colors, there are multiple delicate experiences that are very relaxing.

Theme 4: Believing in Data

The driving force brought by data to China today is similar to the driving force brought by electricity to the United States in the early 20th century, and even stronger.  Usually representing data, the most concrete image is the vast starry sky, and the color combination must be an extraordinary combination of magenta and deep blue.  The two express the mystery and connection of electricity, signals, and numbers.  In fact, believing in data is also believing in the power behind it.  This set of colors not only expresses emotional healing, but also inspires people's longing for future high-tech life.

1. Interstellar Magenta 

Creative inspiration: Interstellar red exists between blue and red, between warm and cool colors.  Facing the future, it is both digital and primitive. It is a brave, fearless, and exciting color that expresses "boldness, wit, complementarity, and inclusiveness".

2. Space Blue

Creative inspiration: Colors are combined through various materials and complementary color combinations to express a mysterious, ever-changing, and interconnected world.

Theme 5: Void and Reality

We live in a world full of virtual and real opposition, and people always hope to seek balance in the opposition.  We seamlessly integrate the optical effects of physics with new pigment technology to create stunning color experiences.  These are multidimensional cosmic colors that represent the collaboration between humans and technology.

1. Fluorescent Cyan Tree

Creative inspiration: Using modern technology rich pearl pigments to reshape the vibrant green wood color representing nature, expressing the meaning of vitality, vitality, and returning to simplicity.  Reasonably selecting pearl pigments in the formula, the unique bismuth oxychloride crystal structure in the color paste is mixed with absorbent pigments to create liquid metal effects of various hues, which cannot be compared to ordinary mica based pearl effect pigments.

2. Purple energy comes from the east

Creative inspiration: Inspired by the enchanting colors that protect oneself, such as chameleons, tortoise beetles, chameleon snails, chameleon lizards, and chameleon birds.  The new synthetic pigment can not only give color to objects, but also simulate the luster, iridescent effect, and color difference of natural organisms.  Choose transparent wafers with a spiral structure that do not absorb light, but only reflect and transmit it. Use multi angle color perception to bridge and contrast, expressing a sense of connection and hope.
