RETAILOBSERVER.COM MAY 2022 24 Precious gems have long been coveted for their vibrant colors and rich history. Today, jewel tones are used to add intense pops of color that accentuate both shape and form. Also referred to as the cardinal gemstones, the jewels that inspired Elmira's newest curated collection are known for their richness of color and transformational powers. The Gemology Collection looks to capture the beautiful range of hues found in nature and translate them to everyday life in an unexpected way. THIS VERSATILE COMPILATION OF COLORS INCLUDES: • Emerald is a brilliant green shade that evokes abundance along with renewal and growth. • Amethyst is an intriguing rich-purple hue that promotes groundedness, balance and a sense of calm. • Sapphire is a deep, vivid blue often associated with royalty, and the epitome of class and sophistication. • Ruby is a lustrous and inviting shade of red that confers courage, strength and protection. • The jewel tones in Gemology's eye-catching palette offer a dramatic alternative to neutral tones. At once saturated yet reflective, gemstone-inspired colors create an artful mix of depth and dimensionality, allowing them to stand out without being overwhelming. Each bold hue in the Gemology Collection conveys a sense of timelessness that perfectly complements Elmira's vintage-style appliances. "Color has been, and remains, a great form of self-expression in the kitchen," said Tony Dowling, vice president of sales and marketing at Elmira. "As we continue to push boundaries in kitchen design, the incorporation of colorful appliances has become increasingly popular and shows no signs of slowing down. The colors in the Gemology Collection allow homeowners to enjoy a striking representation of the natural beauty and radiance found in precious stones, in their daily lives." In addition to the Gemology Collection, Elmira's lines are available in a variety of classic colors along with an almost unlimited range of custom hues, including RAL and Axalta SpectraMaster Solid Colors. Designers and consumers are invited to view Elmira's appliances in standard colors, trims and cabinet finishes via the "Create Your Dream Kitchen" visualizer tool on the company's website. Designers can also access the Elmira product lines on the 2020 Design cloud's 3D CAD catalog.
