How to effectively share content with us:
You can either tag or use the relevant hashtags with your images. You can also share your images with us at hello@colourtrend.ie or through our private messages on Instagram and Facebook. We may ask you to share the following information when tagging your photo:
We cannot use any images that show any other third-party brand logos even if it is in the background (such as paint cans, sundries etc) so be mindful of background.
Ensure all pictures are of the highest quality, in-focus and cropped correctly.
Don’t use a border or any filters – we need the paint colour to reflect to its most accurate undertones/shade.
Images mustn’t have any links or text on it unless it states the colour of the paint used.
When an image is shared on GPG channels the colours used must only be Colourtrend or Curator and must not include other paint brands. That includes mixing Colourtrend/Curator colours in a different brand’s formula.
We reserve the right to reject or remove comments that are not in keeping with our policy and to block or ban users/followers who violate this policy.
We may require some information in order to share the post i.e details of the colours, user name or @handle in order to credit the image.
Comment Moderation and Response:
We will do our best to moderate and respond quickly to your comments and feedback. Although we are moderating our channels to help ensure that users’ posts comply with these Guidelines, we cannot be responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any comments or materials posted by other users.
