Welcome to the world of our brand new paint colour ensemble — the Iconic Collection. t’s the smallest collection from our newest release with just paint hues, but it’s arguably the most powerful of them all. These mighty tones are full of saturation, energy and captivation, they are hues that have stood the test of time and are guaranteed to bring beauty and excitement wherever you choose to put them.

But if you’re after some inspiration on how to use these phenomenal bold paint shades, just keep reading — we've got some handy interior tips and tricks for you.

Iconic Red.

Iconic Red is, indeed, the most iconic, deep and, frankly seductive, red colour in our paint palette. We took inspiration from many iconic references to make this divine colour; namely Chanel’s classic Rouge Noir nail polish and Mary Quant’s mini jersey dress, so you know you're in good company. Colour drench an entire room with this bold, dark red colour if you feel brave enough, or create a grounding, tonal palette by combining it with our Dirty Red paint colour. Alternatively, continue to push the boundaries and try it with a touch of our Electric Yellow paint colour for a zingy splash of colour that cuts right to the heart.

Our Iconic Red paint colour is a rich wine red hue with intense purple undertones — truly iconic, just like the name suggests.


Iconic Orange.

A colour you can practically taste (but please don’t), our Iconic Orange paint is a tangy, zesty Marigold hue with plenty of rich saturation to give it its eye-catching, iconic quality. Hey — if it’s good enough for Hugo Weaving in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, then it’s definitely good enough for us. We love energetic colours like this bright orange in social spaces such as kitchens and dining rooms.

Iconic Orange is also the perfect accent colour to pair with our Serene Pink or Passionate Warm White paint colours, or to use as an exciting contrast in moodier interior colour schemes with our Loving Blue and Graceful Grey paints. It's a way more versatile colour than you might think, and it will definitely surprise you (in the most pleasant way).

Our Iconic Orange paint colour is a bright and tangy orange hue with yellow undertones, reminiscent of zesty orange peel and raw Scottish heather honeycomb. Simply delicious.


Iconic Green.

This bright emerald green paint colour called Iconic Green sits right at home in the YesColours Iconic Collection. It's the precise green hue that's adorning the set of Wicked, and also the colour of vitamin-rich veggies, the luminous Northern Lights and Wim Wenders film Paris, Texas... so you know this one is definitely a good one. We love this bright and bold green paint colour incorporated into fun mural projects for home offices, public spaces and kids rooms, or paired with our Joyful Pink paint colour for a truly fun dopamine decor hitting combo. This shade also looks amazing on woodwork or used to zone a corner in smaller spaces in the home.
