Backdrop Is Living in the Fast Lane With These New Porsche-Inspired Paint Colors

Catch the limited-edition, sports car-cool palette while you can.

When it comes to celebrating a 75th wedding anniversary, traditional etiquette says that you should treat your spouse to diamonds. But honoring the 75th anniversary of the world’s most coveted sports car brand requires a different sort of gift—and the iconoclasts at Backdrop have decided only a limited-edition palette of paint colors will do.

To celebrate Porsche’s big 75th, Backdrop is launching a cool new collaboration that brings four inspiring colors from Porsche history into your home.

A car company and a paint brand might not seem like obvious partners, but Porsche has always been known for its unwavering commitment to design and style; individualization is at the heart of everything the brand does (as anyone who’s ever dreamed about a custom-built 911 and pored over the dozens of shades available knows). And Backdrop, created by husband-and-wife duo Natalie and Caleb Ebel, has long been a favorite of interior designers, beloved for both its curated color palettes and Green Wise-certified, low-VOC offerings.


Paint and wallcoverings brand Backdrop, founded by Natalie and Caleb Ebel, has gained a cult following with their direct-to-consumer, low-VOC paints that come in a variety of stunning colors—like their latest capsule collaboration inspired by Porsche.

So really this unique collaboration between the iconic automaker and premium paint producer is a truly perfect pairing. "Everything we do at Backdrop centers around our love of color. Naturally, we jumped at the chance to work with an iconic brand like Porsche, which has always been synonymous with its bold, statement-making color palette," says Natalie Ebel, co-founder of Backdrop.

"Individualization is at the core of Porsche. Whether it’s a custom-built Taycan or your home office, we want to inspire all to dream in full color," adds Ayesha Coker, vice president of marketing of Porsche Cars North America.
