Colour can instantly transform space, as if by magic. Leading paint manufacturer, Crown, believes every pot of paint is brimming with potential, and the company wants to inspire people to paint their world better, braver and more beautiful.
That’s why it is teaming up with Disney to create four colour palettes, taking inspiration from the characters of their amazing new movie, Encanto (in cinemas from 24 November).
From the team behind Zootopia, Encanto tells the tale of an extraordinary family, the Madrigals, who live hidden in the mountains of Colombia in a magical house, in a charmed place called an Encanto.
The magic of the Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift – every child except one, Mirabel.
Colour gives every character their own, unique personality – something you can bring to your own family home with the Crown Paints Breatheasy® range.
The four colourful palettes take inspiration from some of Encanto’s main characters – Mirabel, Antonio, Isabela and Julieta – and the shades bring their lively and unique personalities to life via the magic of colour.
A charming creative playground, the Mirabel-inspired colour scheme is inspired by dark and daring shades to enthuse young minds.
With influences from nature and the rainforest, the colour palette inspired by Antonio includes bright and bold hues inviting you on an adventure in your own home and encouraging kids to express their imagination.
