Showcasing Katy Perry's vibrant love for color and music in her latest collaboration with Spotify and BEHR's Music in Color project.
Inspired by the way singer-songwriter Katy Perry experiences music and its connection to color, Music in Color by BEHR Paint is an all-new color selector tool helping people discover personalized paint color recommendations through their favorite songs across the entire Spotify music library.
Combining Spotify’s streaming intelligence and the freshly bold array of paint colors from Katy Perry’s exclusive color palette by BEHR, users can unleash an entirely new way of approaching the color selection process by using music as the guide to make DIYers' inspiration a reality. The campaign is accompanied by the new film “Katy in Color,” showing the relationship between music and the colors that Katy experiences, as well as across social through augmented reality experiences on Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat, letting everyone discover and share color through music.
My role in this project was to design the entire digital experience from scratch, starting with prototypes and progressing to the final delivery, ensuring optimal performance, particularly on mobile devices. I collaborated with the developers not only during the handoff process but also on the technical aspects, providing insights into how the algorithm would translate the songs' characteristics into colors.
