ESTHETIC COLORS
TO PLEASE THE EYE
Color is one of the most critical visual aspects of your design - whether it is used to differentiate yourself on the shelf, to convey a message, to follow a color trend, or to create a certain association or atmosphere. At Holland Colours, our aim is to co-create colors with you while coloring your success. We offer from transparent to opaque colors, as well as colors with a visual effect.
FUNCTIONAL COLORS & ADDITIVES
TO PERFORM AND PROTECT
Beyond the visual aspect, functional colorants and additives serve a purpose – functionality, energy use during production, end-of-life recyclability, taste protection and prolonging shelf-life are all technical aspects to consider during design. Holland Colours has decades of experience to help you select the best options to protect your product.
