PPG’s Vining Ivy, 2023 Color of the Year, expected to influence industrial design

Pittsburgh-based PPG has announced that its 2023 Color of the Year, Vining Ivy, is expected to shape the styling direction of industrial and consumer products, including cookware, consumer electronics, and office furniture. PPG also announced a collection of three coordinating color palettes called Reflection.

Vining Ivy reflects the continued global dominance of green. It is the second consecutive year that PPG selected a shade of green and the third in the past five years.

PPG color stylists chose Vining Ivy after a comprehensive review of top trends from industries that include automotive, electronics, architectural building applications, and fashion across 10 global regions.

“We are seeing green on a broader range of product applications than ever before,” said Vanessa Peterson, PPG global color styling leader, Industrial Coatings. “We felt compelled to recognize its ongoing influence with the 2023 selection because it has infiltrated the market in such a strong and powerful way.”

PPG’s color stylists believe that the dominance of the hue is reflective of the continued interest in biophilic design, which is a trend that incorporates nature into everyday lives and spaces.
