Learn more about the Pearson Lloyd duo , Discover The Colours of Denmark The new colours illustrate the harmonies of Danish heritage. The cool and soft colours transport you to Denmark’s ocean landscapes, while the modern neutral colours evoke the urbanity of Danish cities, fashion, and architecture. The blended palette accommodates for a variety of workplace and domestic settings, appealing to current interior and color movements to deliver an element of warmth and comfort. , Red ochre Sultry terracotta Red ochre is a sultry terracotta tone which takes direct inspiration from clay coloured with iron oxide. It is traditionally used to make paint and commonly used on Scandinavian buildings. This on-trend colour is both soft and strong - the perfect medium. , Ocean Blue depth Ocean offers richness and is an anchoring tone within the palette. A strong blue with green hues delivers vigour and sophistication. Denmark, a seafaring country, is surrounded by endless coastline and the omnipresent ocean. Inspired by the moody palette of the Ocean, this colour has a great sense of depth. , Wheat Mellow and smooth Wheat is mellow and smooth; its hues draw reference to wheat meadows moving in the wind. This tone is a relaxed, intimate neutral, and adds warmth to any environment. , Fawn Light-toned brown Fawn is a light-toned brown, the perfect balance between an off-white like Chalk and the richness of a brown. A likeness seen in the colouring of a Fawns coat, a delicate gradient moving from light to dark, is both elegant and charming. , HOWE’s Danish heritage was a natural and immediate source of inspiration for this new palette. The cool, soft and desaturated tones of Denmark's landscapes sit harmoniously with the richer and vibrant tones of Denmark’s; cities, design culture, fashion, and architecture. Pearson Lloyd , Lichen Mossy green forest Lichen is a soft and subtle green, its dusty tone creates a sense of fuzzy warmth and comfort while also highlighting the SixE’s curves. Inspired by the muted pastel greens of lichen found growing on forest tree trunks, this colour is calm and easy on the eye. , Black Pure strength Black is pure and strong and draws reference from powder coated bicycle frames seen throughout Denmark's cycling culture. It offers weight and formality to the palette. Black is an existing colour in the palette. , Howe Grey Cobblestone streets Howe grey is a longstanding color used throughout HOWE products. It is a powder grey which is both timeless and versatile. Reminiscent of the cobble stones of Copenhagen this tone is a perfect mix between Black and Chalk, offering a soft and shadowy silhouette. Howe grey is an existing colour in the palette. , Chalk Mineral white Chalk is a mineral white, derived from the chalk mines in Denmark. The tone offers a warmer white, which sits harmoniously against the rest of the SixE color palette. Chalk is an existing colour in the palette, however with a new name. , , SixE - a perfectly bold move The Colours of Denmark, together with the ubiquitous shades of black, white and HOWE grey, are replacing the current choice of 6 with the wider selection of 8 colours in total.

SC Johnson will unveil its $40 million "Project Honor" building on Friday night with an exclusive gala dinner (no, we weren't invited). But in honor of SCJ's newest architectural masterpiece, we have a series of photos documenting the growth of SC Johnson's Racine campus over the past 100 years. All photos compiled by Racine historian Gerald Karwowski from his collection at the Oak Clearing Farm and Museum. Buy Karwowski's latest book, "Racine: A Postcard History" here. As a side note, this collection of photos kicks off a year-long project at RacinePost celebrating Racine's 175th birthday. Look for more historical photos and essays in the weeks to come. Looking at the North east corner of 16th and Howe Street in about 1910 before the buildings were razed to build the New S. C. Johnson & Son administration building. The Victorian house next to the Leon Szczupakiewicz Schlitz Saloon was used as the company's main office from about 1903 to 1910. At left is George Stanton's barbershop. In 1911,hand-filled cans of wax were hand packed 100 to a hand-made wooden box and hand-trucked to the shipping room where they were loaded into horse drawn drays. The wagons took the load of 100 pound crates to the dock to be shipped by water on the old Chicago-Racine-Milwaukee shipping line. Advertising billboards and factory buildings which were located at the north east corner of Racine and 16th Streets. At this intersection the sweet smell of wax was so strong that a blind man would know they were near the Johnson Wax factories. Frank Lloyd Wright chats during a 1930s test ordered by building inspectors to see if the lily pad columns which were a integral part of the Administration Buildings design would hold the weight they were designed for. The Great Work Room of the Administration Building as it looked in the 1950s. A rare view during the construction of the Johnson Research tower taken from in front of the Frank Karwowski house at 1537 Franklin Street. A stunning night view of the S.C.Johnson& Son Research Tower Complex in 1952. Two children admire the beautiful Johnson world globe. It was the largest of its kind when it was erected at the Racine plant in 1954. One more aerial view. Project Honor, SCJ's newest addition to its Racine campus. (See more photos here.)
