Colour Above. Colour Below. A Shared Responsibility.

As a colourant manufacturer, Amazon Colours knows how much colour matters. It tells a story. It draws us in. It reflects life. A colourful world is a thriving one, and this includes the world beneath the waves. In one of the earth’s most vital ecosystems, the ocean, the presence of colour is a sign of health. That’s why Amazon Colours supports global and local efforts to protect our oceans, especially coral reefs and seagrass meadows.

Coral reefs and seagrass meadows aren’t just beautiful, they represent life. These underwater ecosystems and plants support over a quarter of all marine species, feed millions of people, store carbon and protect coastlines.

But when reefs bleach, they lose their colour, and their life. This happens when rising ocean temperatures, pollution, and harmful practices like dynamite fishing cause stress to corals, forcing them to expel the very algae that give them their vivid hues.  Overfishing, dredging and coastal development also kills seagrass meadows, turning lush green aquatic fields into desolate undersea wastelands.

This World Reef Day (June 1st) and World Oceans Day (June 8th), and every other day, we’re reminded that everyone has a role to play, not just scientists,  conservationists or governments. Each one of us can help by reducing plastic use, cleaning up beaches, supporting sustainable tourism, or simply spreading the word – small actions can help protect these magnificent colourful ecosystems for future generations.

Honouring the Legacy of King Bhumibol Adulyadej on World Soil Day ​

#WorldSoilDay #SustainableFuture #KingBhumibolLegacy #AmazonColours #EcoConsciousLeadership

Today, on December 5th, we celebrate the birthday of Thailand’s late King Bhumibol Adulyadej, affectionately known as the ‘Father of the Nation.’ His Majesty’s leadership and service continue to inspire gratitude, respect, and admiration.

King Bhumibol’s legacy is marked by dedication and sacrifice, particularly through his numerous royal projects aimed at enhancing the lives of the Thai people, especially rural farmers. These projects included raising awareness around soil, and why healthy soil is crucial to building a well-balanced ecosystem. He promoted projects like building check dams to control water for farming, and introduced new agricultural techniques to increase productivity.

Admired and respected worldwide, the Food and Agriculture organisation of the United Nations paid tribute to King Rama IX by declaring December 5th as World Soil Day, reminding us all about the vital role that soil plays. Healthy soil supports the growth of plants, cleans water, and plays a big role in producing food.

At Amazon Colours, we understand how important it is to protect our environment. World Soil Day encourages us to take care of the dirt beneath our feet. It reminds us to appreciate the importance of soil for growing food, supporting plants, and keeping our environment healthy. We can all help by adopting good soil practices, like not using too many chemicals, planting diverse crops, cutting down on waste that goes to landfills and burning vegetation.

Essentially, if we all do our bit and take care of the soil properly, we can make sure it stays healthy for us and future generations.

 

Play your part.

Join our eco-warrior Tuffy by adopting good soil practices and making our earth happy again.

The colour palette of the Paris 2024 Olympics

Congratulations to all the Paris 2024 Olympic Medalists

The Palette of Paris 2024

The Paris 2024 Olympics have set a new precedent for how colour can be thoughtfully and creatively integrated into global events. The vibrant display of flags at the Olympics has always been a beacon of nationalism and unity, but this year, colour has transcended its usual role. It has become a core component of the event’s identity, infusing the very essence of the Games with deeper meaning and symbolism.

Blue, Pink, Green, and Purple

The choice of colours for the Paris 2024 Olympics was not just about the look and feel of the Games. It’s a deliberate reflection of France’s heritage, values, and contemporary vision. Each colour was been carefully chosen to convey a message. Blue, represented France. Pink brought a modern, inclusive perspective, challenging traditional norms and promoting equality. Green, often associated with nature and sustainability, reflected the growing importance of environmental consciousness in global events. Purple, a colour often linked with creativity and luxury, added an element of sophistication and innovation.

A Purple Track

One of the most striking uses of colour was the athletics track, which, for the first time in Olympic history, was purple. The decision to use purple was driven by a desire to break away from tradition, think creatively, and add a unique element to the Games.

The purple track is not just a single shade; it’s a spectrum. Lighter tones are used for the main track, while darker shades mark the service areas, and grey is used for the turns at the end of the bend – reminders of the ash-coloured tracks of 100 years ago at the Paris Olympic Games in 1924.

Colours as storytellers

The use of blue, pink, green, and purple tell the story of the French nation that is proud of its heritage but also eager to push boundaries and embrace the future. As a colourant manufacturer, we are delighted to see the leading role colour has played in the Olympics. It’s a testament of how colour transforms not just spaces and objects, but ideas and perceptions.

Happy Mother’s Day

Celebrating Queen SiriKit

In Thai culture, colour holds deep significance, representing days of the week, and symbolising religious beliefs, and respect for the monarchy.

On August 12, Thailand celebrates the birthday of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, the Queen Mother. Each day of the week is associated with a particular colour, and light blue is the colour for Friday – the day Her Majesty Queen Sirikit was born.

Light blue has become a symbol of loyalty and respect for the Queen Mother, and during the celebrations of her birthday, which is also Mother’s Day in Thailand, many public spaces are awash in light blue. The Thais also proudly wear the colour blue and give jasmine flowers on 12 August, to show gratitude and celebrate the importance of motherhood.
