Axalta Announces Starry Night as 2024 Global Automotive Colour of the Year


Starry Night is a strong, contemporary colour with light blue and silver flakes that evokes the depths of our universe and space exploration. The black shade represents bold imaginations and the drive to reach new heights. As a dynamic hue, Starry Night transcends classic and modern design styles and harmonises with other colours, finishes, patterns, and textures.

“Black is the second most popular automotive colour globally and we’re excited to feature a black shade as our 2024 Global Automotive Color of the Year,” said Dan Benton, Senior Manager, Global Colour at Axalta. “Starry Night is a hue where black is bright and dark is distinguished. This year’s colour is part cosmic and part classic, but all Axalta.”

Axalta first introduced its Global Automotive Colour of the Year in 2015 with Radiant Red, marking this the 10th year Axalta has introduced its automotive colour of the year and the first time it has featured a black shade.
