A short story about how holiday trips to exotic and faraway lands inspired REHAU designers to create the unique Passion for color 2023 collection. Walking through the alleys, among the beautifully fragrant and shimmering in the sun, different colored spices can be seen earthy turmeric, fiery chili, raven black pepper, or pink-pastel salt crystals. A feast for the senses.

It is the sense of sight that provides as much as 80% of information from the environment. Therefore, in the culture of Western architecture, it is sight, or the visual layer, that plays the most important role.
The power of color
REHAU has created six original colors for furniture surfaces, modeled after the captivating world of spices. Could there be anything more inspiring in the kitchen? Or is it worth applying them to other rooms?
Curcuma Gold

Curcuma Gold, or warm - earthy - delicate
Turmeric is commonly referred to as the gold of India. So when Marco Polo brought back from his expeditions a golden-yellow powder with an earthy, slightly spicy taste, it found use in European cuisine, refining many dishes.
Like the Curcuma Gold color from the REHAU collection, it is very impressive, but at the same time not overwhelming. It brightens up rooms and brings balance and harmony.
Surfaces in Curcuma Gold color harmonize perfectly with all colors of wood. They create a sophisticated contrast with dark gray or earthy, sandy tones.
Pepper Grey

Pepper Grey, or full of class - elegant - versatile
Pepper in the Middle Ages was the spice of kings and magnates, and was paid for with gold. The plant brought wealth to India's Malabar Coast. It is valued for its distinctive flavor: slightly spicy, deep and very distinctive.
Just like the color Pepper Grey from the Rehau collection, it is noble, elegant, timeless and harmonious.
Pepper Grey is a surface that goes with everything! It blends perfectly with most shades. It is neutral and calm, so it softens bright shades and highlights softer colors.
Vanilla Cream

Vanilla Cream, or light - delicate - sunny
Vanilla originates from the rainforests of South and Central America, but the best in terms of quality is Mexican vanilla. It cannot be missed in desserts or other sweet dishes. Vanilla color is a bright and deceptively similar to the popular ecru shade, which is an alternative to cool white in interior design.
The bright, sunny shade Vanilla Cream from the Rehau collection exudes warmth and gentle harmony.
Vanilla Cream perfectly matches other pastel shades, creates a pleasant contrast with dark wood. And yet it stands out.
Ground Chili

Ground Chili, or intense - modern - fiery
Chili peppers arrived in Europe with Christopher Columbus. Its fiery temperament is expressed not only in its color, but above all in its sharp, spicy taste.
Passionate, dark red Ground Chili from the REHAU collection is elegant, intense and modern, yet pleasantly subtle.
Ground Chili is a luxurious and sensual shade that not only looks harmonious with dark wood, black or shades of gray. It also looks beautiful in the company of olive color, dark blue, or light pink.

Pink Salt, or light - powdery - invigorating
In the history of civilization, salt has played a significant role: it preserved food, enhanced its flavor, and even served as a means of payment. Due to its structure, type of origin, we distinguish several types of salt, including sea salt, kitchen salt - including Himalayan salt. Himalayan salt has a slightly pinkish hue because it has a slightly higher iron content.
The light pink color of Himalayan salt inspired designers and was also used in the production of furniture. This color suits not only a girl's room, but also perfectly harmonizes with the glamour style, for example. Its warm, light and powdery shade subtly attracts the eye.
Ground Chili and Nutmeg Brown are shades that catch the eye. Combining them with black or olive, we create a stylish and elegant interior.

Nutmeg is a spice obtained from the dried seeds of the spice nutmeg tree. In the kitchen, freshly ground it refines sweet as well as spicy dishes. It is as versatile as its color. It radiates warmth, gently and elegantly blending into the decor of many rooms.
Nutmeg Brown is a color that suits any interior style. However, it is most desirable in interiors decorated in black, white or gray.
