This year’s colour is part cosmic and part classic, but all Axalta.”

Axalta first introduced its Global Automotive Color of the Year in 2015 with Radiant Red. Since then, the company’s global team of color experts have collaborated annually to introduce a trending and up-in-coming shade for the automotive industry.
