With vivid blues and greens, “Shades of Aqua” will be the key color trend in 2020, set to drive innovation as shoppers seek products that re-connect them with nature, according to GNT Group, supplier of EXBERRY Coloring Foods.
Demand for Shades of Aqua will also be powered by a quest for holistic well-being and demand for new and unique food and beverage experiences that will pop out when shared on social media.
“Shades of Aqua evoke marine environments and mountain landscapes, conveying a sense of health and wholesomeness and strong links with the outdoors,” Maartje Hendrickx, GNT’s market development manager. “Green is rooted in nature. It is a positive identifier for nutrition and signifies freshness and organic goodness. Blue evokes the ocean garden. It conveys a sense of relaxation and calm and is impactful on social media.”
To enable food and beverage companies to harness the appeal of Shades of Aqua, GNT has developed a range of green and blue EXBERRY Coloring Foods with clean-label appeal. They are made from spirulina, an algae that contains phycocyanin, a naturally occurring coloring component. They are the perfect replacement for artificial colorants, including brilliant blue and patent blue, and other additives such as copper chlorophyllin.
Shades of Aqua Coloring Foods will be at the heart of GNT’s new Love Color with EXBERRY initiative for 2020.
Hendrickx added: “Shoppers want food & beverage products that are ‘clean’ and ‘simple.’ EXBERRY Coloring Foods are aligned with this because they are made using only physical processes and never with chemical solvents. They aren’t additives; they’re foods. They can be eaten at any stage of the manufacturing process and they qualify for cleaner and simpler label declarations.”
