Standox Special Color News – find out where car color names come from | 12/05/10
Car color names like “Arabesque Silver” or “Pannacotta” have an important role in the allure of a new vehicle. These names underline the design and style of each model. Now you can find out why a color might have that particular name in our new “Special Color News”. Standox design experts set out to find possible explanations for about 250 color names. The results are the most probable explanations, summed up in 18 categories. There are, for example, colors whose names were inspired by buildings, like “Pantheon Grey” (named after the ancient temple in Rome), or colors which evoke rivers or islands, like “Potomac Blue” (named after the river running along Washington D.C.) or “Zanzibar Gold” (an island on the African West Coast).
 
This Standox Special Color News is a reflection of color designers’ creativity and inspirations. Each color name (including the car maker and color codes) comes with a matching photo and the digital color swatches listed in Standowin, the color search software from Standox. Standowin users can simply retrieve the complete formulation for each color and mix the paint to the highest level of color accuracy.

The Special Color News is available for download on the Internet as a pdf.file at www.standox.com/color-news.
