Colour Crush On: Trend Colour 2027 Glacia

A cool, regenerative mint green for masterbatch applications in plastics

What are the key trend colours for plastics in 2027? In our “Colour Crush On” series, Lifocolor experts present their personal favourites from the Shades of Inspiration 2027 – and show how these colours can be realised as masterbatch solutions for plastics.
This recommendation comes from the Czech Republic: Glacia – a light mint green with cool freshness and a sense of lightness that perfectly captures the mood of product design in 2027.

Glacia is a light mint-green masterbatch for plastic applications with a cool, regenerative character.

The shade is a soft, light green with a noticeable blue undertone, reminiscent of fresh spring leaves, shimmering mountain lakes and clean air after rainfall.
Positioned in the light, desaturated colour range, Glacia can be intensified if required. In its original form, with a higher white content, it shows an almost luminous quality.

In plastic products, this makes it particularly interesting: it reacts to light, enhances matte surfaces and creates elegant effects in transparent masterbatch applications.

Why Glacia is a key trend colour for 2027

Green tones are undergoing a clear transformation in the 2027 colour landscape.

Instead of muted, earthy “recycling greens”, brighter and more regenerative shades are emerging – expressing both ecological awareness and emotional renewal.
Glacia represents this shift: fresh, clear and optimistic, while remaining modern and versatile for plastic product design.

In a world shaped by digital overstimulation and fast-paced lifestyles, colours like Glacia respond to a growing need for regeneration, mental reset and a sense of renewal. Glacia embodies this idea most purely as a trend-driven aqua shade.

“What fascinates me about Glacia is its ability to combine opposites: it feels both energising and calming.
It reminds me of fresh air, mountain springs and the moment when you take a deep breath and feel clear again.
This is exactly what I think is missing in product design today – not more noise, but this kind of clean, light energy.
Glacia is not a colour that fades into the background. It works – in a very elegant and contemporary way.”

Glacia as a trend colour for plastic products – key applications

As a masterbatch manufacturer, we always consider colour trends not only in relation to the target audience but also in terms of materials, processing and applications. For Glacia, we see particularly great potential in three segments:

For Cosmetics and personal care packaging

In beauty applications, Glacia stands for freshness, purity and mindful self-care.
As a masterbatch for plastics such as PET, PP or HDPE, it creates a clean and natural brand aesthetic.

Combined with matte surfaces or minimalist designs, it supports a premium and sustainability-oriented positioning.
Transparent or frosted plastic effects further enhance its luminous Character.

Or for Children’s products, lifestyle and everyday applications

As a Shade of Childhood, Glacia offers a modern alternative to classic primary colours.

In toys, storage systems or accessories, the shade feels positive and inviting without being overwhelming.

It meets the growing demand for gender-neutral, reduced and design-conscious products.

Glacia also fits well with applications that communicate movement, vitality and wellbeing – such as consumer electronics housings or lifestyle accessories.
