Memories en Couleur
A modern reinterpretation of ancient textures and materials, frenchCALIFORNIA’s capsule collection in collaboration with San Francisco-based Color Atelier consists of six colors that feature soft, tonal variations centered on a neutral palette, enhanced by a selection of bolder colors that add a distinguishing look to a space.
Inspired by the special people and places in France, California, and New York, the organic colors are made with Color Atelier’s Limewash, a natural mineral-based paint that is breathable, durable, healthy, and environmentally friendly, achieving a matte velvety finish. Each color mimics a surface found in the natural world, adding a sense of history and gravitas to a contemporary environment.
ENFANCE
A warm, soft white for creating airy and timeless interiors.
POUDRE
A mid-tone off white with a hint of yellow for creating both sophisticated and understated backgrounds, with unmatched depth and warmth.
RÊVE
A cool off white serves as a light architectural grey, working particularly well in modern spaces.
CIEL
A mid-tone blackened blue, giving a subtly aged feel, depth and balance to any room.
CAP FERRET
A silvery green with a subtle and soothing feel due to its lightened sage undertones.
TERRE
A perfect mid-tone gray-beige with hints of warm taupe. It complements a contemporary room just as well as it does a historic house.
"It has been such an honor to work with Color Atelier on frenchCALIFORNIA's first paint collection," says Guillaume Coutheillas, founder and creative director of frenchCALIFORNIA. "Having partnered with Burju and Olivier on many projects for various clients before, it was such a different and rewarding creative experience to bring to fruition a collection that is all our own, from start to finish."
