 “I looked everywhere for a colour like this,” says designer Lynda Kerry who is using it throughout her latest Sydney harbourside home (still under construction). It’s so neutral, not yellow-y or pink-y or green-y. I’d say it’s white with a touch of warm grey in it, It’s perfect!”

It adds a nice grounding, earthy element to projects without being too heavy.

OLIVE GROVE

It’s a pale celadon that’s easy to live with and can act as a neutral. It’s beautiful in a bedroom, living room, or bathroom for a serene and fresh look.

Not a true black, but functions perfectly in place as one. Designer Lynda Kerry has used this paint colour for all her homes and projects where black doors have been called for as long as she’s been in business—about 25 years!

It’s got warm undertones, that are neither shiny nor matt. “It’s never been wrong.”

HAILSTORM  

An airy, watery blue that has an undercurrent of grey. It changes from a stone blue to a soft-grey blue.

It’s a deep rich blue that has presence. A Cameron Kimber standby when you want a classic blue.

NEWPORT BLUE 

When you want to use navy, but you don’t want it to look like a crayon colour, It’s the perfect blue that looks natural with an inky black come twilight, and with a slight gray undertone to round the color out a bit.

Kamaz FTL hauler registers NatCar brand

MOSCOW. Sept 4 (Interfax) - National Carrier JSC, the full truckload freight trucking company headed by former Globaltruck CEO Ilya Sattarov that Russian truck maker Kamaz founded this summer, applied to register the brand NatCar at the end of August, the registry of federal intellectual property service Rospatent showed.

The NatCar brand is also mentioned in the recruitment ads of National Carrier, which is actively looking for E-class drivers. It is offering working with this year's model Kamaz diesel trucks from the flagship K5 line and new dry goods (curtainsider) and refrigerated trailers.

National Carrier was founded on July 7 in Moscow with charter capital of 1 billion rubles, the Unified State Register of Legal Entities showed. The company registered two branches in early August, in Yekaterinburg and Elektrostal, Moscow Region. The company specializes in truck logistics and associated activities, including digitization processes.

A spokesman for National Carrier told Interfax earlier that the company plans to provide FTL trucking services using its own fleet, "as well as the resources of hired truckers." The company's fleet will initially consist of 400 semi-trailer trucks with a 50/50 ratio of curtainside to refrigerated trailers, and it plans to primarily operate on domestic routes, he said.

The company has preliminary agreements with major customers among marketplaces and retailers in the FMCG and DIY segments, the spokesman said. Strong demand for trucking services is expected toward the end of the year, so there is interest from customers, he said.

Kamaz marketing director Ashot Arutyunyan announced at the International Moscow Automotive Forum at the end of August that the truck maker was the principal investor in National Carrier. He did not comment on the new company's shareholder structure, but said it is a Kamaz startup.
