Mylands Colour of the Year for 2023.

Mylands, House of Colour, announces FTT-006™as its Colour of the Year for 2023.

A bold and bright pink made from a strong mix of red and magenta, FTT-006™ is a captivating hue with unique character and energy.

The shade is part of Mylands’ FTT range, specially formulated for its long-standing work withthe British Film, Television and Theatre industries.Mylands has created colour for the industry for over a century, and has featured in some of the world’s greatest productions - including every Bond movie, Game of Thrones, Downton Abbey and 2023’s hotly-anticipated Barbie™ movie. The palette of twenty colours has been skilfully reformulated for use in the home, with the fast drying times and outstanding coverage for which Mylands is renowned.

From fashion to interiors, interest in hot pink hues is always strong, but a sharp increase over the last few months can be attributed to the rise of Barbiecore. Moreover, as the world around us appears uncertain and disheartening, the uplifting effect of this colour makes it a perfect antidote, bringing happiness into any home.

FTT-006™ is a joyful and lively pink that many might have grown up with, and can be used to create a vibrant backdrop that also feels comforting and nostalgic. If painting an entire space feels intimidating, Mylands suggest painting details within a space, for example accenting the room with a bold pink skirting, doorway or piece of furniture for a dramatic contrast. Slightly darker and less feminine than more pastel pink hues, FTT-006™ pairs well with soft neutral tones for a toned down scheme, or pair with pale shades of pink or lilac or crisp white for something bolder.

Dominic Myland says “FTT-006™ is an unfailingly cheerful and bold pink that’s proving not only to be incredibly popular, but also more enduring than just another trend of fad. It’s a confident shade with the power to completely transform a space, and its intensity makes it hard to forget. Hot pink is playful and eye-catching, and though it’s the colour of the moment, it’s a stylish shade you won’t get tired of any time soon.
