2025 is shaping up to be a year of soft, serene sophistication, and Jotun Paints Arabia is leading the way with its latest Nuances Colour Card. Gone are the days of loud, bold shades—this new palette is all about earthy elegance and celebrating life’s quiet, in-between moments. Think terracotta warmth, sage green calm, and a splash of personality to keep things interesting.
Earthy Tones: Terracotta, olive green, and mustard yellow continue their reign as the go-to hues for creating grounded, cozy spaces. These shades bring the kind of comfort you’ll want to curl up in. Try out 8596 Sunny Green from Jotun’s Global Colour Card 2025 and see for yourself.
Soft Neutrals: Grey, beige, and taupe—always timeless, always versatile. They set the stage for your décor and allow your personality to shine through. Need a starting point? Look no further than 12314 Grey Touch from Jotun’s Global Colour Card 2025.
Serene Blues: Whether it’s the gentle sky blues or the deep, tranquil ocean shades, blues bring peace and calm to any room. 6236 Darjeeling from the Global Colour Card 2025 is just the right hue for embracing that zen vibe.
Accent Colours: It’s time to add some flair! A pop of colour—like 12085 Rural, 4666 Silky Blue, or 8596 Sunny Green—injects warmth and personality into any neutral space. These tones are standouts on their own but also play beautifully within the Nuances palette, making each space feel uniquely yours.
To dive deeper into the world of colour, we caught up with the genius behind it all, Rana Khadra. As head of Jotun’s creative and communications department, she’s the mastermind behind these enchanting hues. With an impressive background in advertising, marketing, and product management, she’s launched colour collections and product innovations that have taken the Middle East, Africa, and India by storm.
Rana isn’t just a colour expert—she’s a certified Colour Trainer, over the years, she’s taught countless masterclasses for interior designers and architects across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
Her infectious passion for colour shines through in both her work and her personality. Rana has an eye for beautiful doors and walls (she’s a connoisseur of the finer details), and a wanderlust-driven quest to fill her shelves with curious finds from around the world.
An Omani-Lebanese globetrotter, she believes that beautiful people make beautiful places, and their stories should be captured through the lens of a camera. Whether navigating foreign languages or sharing warm smiles with locals, she hopes her photos capture something truly special from every culture she encounters.
So, if you’re ready to transform your space into a tranquil haven, let Jotun’s Nuances palette lead the way—and maybe, just maybe, Rana’s colour stories will inspire you to paint your world in shades of wonder!
YOU’VE SAID, “IT’S OFTEN THE NUANCES THAT MAKE ALL THE DIFFERENCE.” WHAT’S A NUANCE IN YOUR DAILY LIFE THAT SPARKS THE MOST JOY FOR YOU?
Ahhh so many! My walk back from the gym in the morning, the cheerful hello from the security guard everyday, watching the sun reflection change in my house and clicking photos of it everyday, the smell of my first cup of coffee, morning messages from the “Khadra’s” group.
LET’S TALK ABOUT EMOTIONS AND WALLS, WHAT’S THE MOODIEST SHADE IN THE 2025 PALETTE, AND WHAT VIBE DOES IT SET?
Mellow. So moody, so deep, layered, sophisticated, a deep reddish brown colour. It gives a very warm, moody, rich, “I’m a designer, and I know my colours” kind of vibe, also “Im daring, and not afraid of dark colours”. 😊
IF NUANCES WERE A PERSONALITY, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE IT IN THREE WORDS?
Great energy, confident, happy. Sorry I couldn’t stick to 3
THE LARGE-SCALE ARTWORK BY AGATHE BERJAUT SOUNDS INCREDIBLE! HOW DID HER WORK BRING THE PALETTE TO LIFE IN A WAY WORDS NEVER COULD?
The collection inspires you to create your own nuance, and mix and match the colours in a way that matches you. And Agathe does that perfectly both by creating customized art on the walls, but also by using one row sticking to a single hue (peaches) and then that one blue stroke that just adds personality!
IF YOU COULD DESIGN A ROOM INSPIRED BY ONE COLOUR FAMILY—PEACHES, YELLOWS, BLUES, GREENS, GREYS, OR BEIGES—WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE?
I would use rural and sandbeige on all the walls and the ceiling in peachy from the peaches collection, I’ll add to it green marble as a material imagine a dining table and a big leafy tree, with matt gold metal accessories such as lighting and hints of black and wood to create a solid contrast. Wow.
WHICH SHADE FROM THE NUANCES CARD FEELS THE MOST “YOU,” AND WHERE IN YOUR HOME WOULD YOU USE IT?
One of the greens, either cypress of secret green, I’d use it somewhere with sunlight, lots of greens, it would look great in the kitchen actually.
IF YOUR MORNING COFFEE COULD BE A COLOUR FROM THIS PALETTE, WHICH ONE WOULD IT BE—AND WHY?
Spring air, calm, fresh, soothing, and delicious!
THE EXHIBITIONS SOUND MAGICAL! CAN YOU SPILL ANY BEHIND-THE-SCENES DETAILS ABOUT HOW YOU’RE CREATING THOSE SCULPTURAL ZONES?
The exhibition is a traveling one, that’s going around the world with us, being built in every country and painted on the ground. When it comes to painted walls its so important that you’re able to live it, feel it, touch it.
FINALLY, WHAT’S THE ONE THING YOU HOPE VISITORS FEEL AS THEY WALK THROUGH THE NUANCES INSTALLATION—BESIDES THE SUDDEN URGE TO REPAINT THEIR WALLS?
Colour is sensory and you must be able to activate all your senses when you’re surrounded by it. You don’t really know the effect colour has on us until you feel it with all your senses. in short : Transported.
