Hempel 2025 Colours of Life
Bonded Together
Reflecting on our impact on the world, this year, we shall muster our collective strength to work in unison towards addressing the pressing challenges of our time.
Bonded Together reminds us that our strength lies in unity.
Celebrating our intrinsic connection to the diverse elements of our world, Bonded Together pays homage to our connection to nature, the universe, the oceans, and the polar regions. The colours not only highlight the beauty of our planet but also act as a visual manifestation of our journey towards promise and healing. Each colour story —Earthy, Cosmic, Oceanic, and Arctic— highlights a different aspect of our collective spirit. The colours reflect the depth and complexity of our relationship with the planet and each other. From the warm, nurturing tones of Earthy to the mysterious, expansive shades of Cosmic, the invigorating hues of Oceanic, and the pure, restorative colours of Arctic, each palette is a testament to the rich fabric of life and the numerous ways in which we can contribute to a sustainable and balanced world.
Bonded Together is more than just a theme—it's a call for protecting and preserving the wonders of our world
