With its new collection, Antologia, the Portuguese brand CIN pays homage to the world of art. Through the 126 shades that make up this tribute, something becomes clear: you don't have to leave home to stroll through a museum.

 

It is when walking through a museum that we realize the true power of color. Red is not just red, it is a scarlet that makes you feel the velvet texture of a crown. Gray is much more than an intermediate tone between black and white, it is a heavy cloud that makes us feel the humidity hanging in the air. Blue can be as dark as a starless night or as indigo as the high seas, so stormy that you feel the fear on your skin. These colors that fill our senses show their emotional depth. CIN, the leading Portuguese paint brand in the Iberian Peninsula, understands this complexity - that is also the reason for its success. In its new collection, Antologia, CIN presents 126 colors that are references to the journey of humanity understood through the history of art.

From Impressionist painting to Renaissance architecture, from Baroque decor to Romantic poetry: the Portuguese brand does not limit the target of its inspiration. What CIN realizes is the possibility of living inside the fantasies created by some of the greatest names in the history of art. A story in which, for the last 106 years, the leader in paints and varnishes has actively participated. The more than one hundred shades that makeup Anthology are divided into nine ranges. Colors like Stucco, light and luminous, transport us to a Greek temple, where white marble is shaped into realistic sculptures. The Neoclassical tone blurs the line between blue and gray, invoking the seascapes of J.M.W. Turner. Rosa Aubusson recalls the still-life paintings of the great Dutch masters, where floral hues contrast with dark, mysterious backgrounds.

Antologia is not only a tribute to the impact of art on the human psyche, it is a tribute to the role that CIN has had and continues to have, in Portugal's cultural heritage. This is materialized in a selection of colors rescued from the brand's archives. Through this collection, CIN marks a position: the brand is the past, the present and the future of art in national territory. The infinite creative possibilities that the collection entails are explored by the brand itself, on an Instagram account dedicated entirely to Antologia (@Cin_Antologia). The collection is also available online, as well as in 16 premium CIN stores across the country. But it is not necessary to buy enough paint to paint a mural like Michelangelo's, the Portuguese brand offers TESTiT testers, so that we can fall in love with the Antologia shades without remorse.
