Nicola Roberts teams with Dulux to announce 2013’s Colour of the Year

 

Girls Aloud star, colour ambassador and style mentor, Nicola Roberts, has brought new meaning to ‘January Blues’ by being transformed into a canvas of Indigo Night to announce 2013’s Colour of the Year – as predicted by a global panel of experts from leading paint brand, Dulux.

 

Captured in a series of mono-chromatic images, which showcase the singer as she has never been before, Nicola’s signature porcelain skin and flame red hair contrast boldly with a custom set, styling and make-up compilation which are all entirely Indigo.  Achieved by a production team of 10 and a 12-hour shoot, almost every inch of the star’s body features air-brush make-up application through costume lace to create a unique body art effect.

 

The specific colour, Indigo Night, was predicted following extensive research by an 18-strong panel of global colour and trend experts who specialise in different areas of colour use. Collectively the team scours the globe, exploring a broad range of different cultures and industries including interiors, fashion, beauty, design and even social and economic influences.  The result is an annual trend forecast known as ColourFutures, which depicts five key trends for the year ahead and one true Colour of the Year, competing with the world’s leading trend authorities.

 

To celebrate the announcement of Indigo Night as the Colour of the Year, Dulux is offering a limited supply of free testers can ordered online.
