COLORS

We are a multicolor brand.

While we are creating a more engaging and progressive brand design, we also want to stay true to our heritage.
This is why our design is built around the distinctive Henkel red and white as signature colors and adds exciting new color combinations to communicate the rich variety of topics at Henkel.
