Public lighting – 5 trendy (and long-lasting) finishes for 2026

A trendsetter for 55 years, how about a selection of 5 trendy, but above all long-lasting, finishes for your public lighting:

1. Noble white

A nod to Pantone’s Color of the Year 2026. Minimalist and timeless, it enhances the lines of the lighting column and fits in equally well in heritage and contemporary settings.

2. Bright yellow with a hint of green

A sunny, plant-based note. Increased visibility without harshness: perfect for creating warm and reassuring landmarks.

3. Dark and sophisticated turquoise blue

Elegant depth, inspired by the blues named ‘colours of the year’ by Akzo Nobel (our powder coating supplier partner). Ideal for creating a strong identity without gimmicks.

4. Burgundy shades

Chic and welcoming, they lend a premium feel and enhance mineral materials and urban landscapes.

5. Warm brown

Back to basics. Earthy and mineral, it blends into landscaping while gaining personality depending on the texture.
