Ceramics and pottery
Natural colours play an important role in the art of ceramics and pottery. The 'Earth and Fire: Natural Colours of Ceramic Art' colour palette includes warm, earthy tones such as clay, terracotta, brick red and brown, which are reminiscent of the natural materials used to make ceramics. The colours burning orange, fiery red and salmon pink symbolise the element of fire that plays a central role in the firing of ceramics. These colours are complemented by wheat, sand, golden yellow and light yellow, which evoke associations of sun, warmth and light. Together, they form a harmonious palette that reflects the connection with nature and the artisanal art of ceramic making. This colour palette is ideal for the design of ceramics, pottery, handicrafts and for creative projects that want to accentuate the beauty and warmth of natural shades.
