The name Accra Night is inspired by the nights in Accra, the vibrant capital of Ghana. When the sun sets, the city awakens: music, lights, movement, and energy. The deep black of this color embodies precisely this feeling – powerful, lively, and distinctive. For BARIMAH, Accra Night stands for focus, strength, and the silent power that doesn't need to be overtly displayed.
The Kola tree is native to West Africa and known for its deep red, chestnut-like fruits. It often grows near villages and homesteads and has been part of everyday life for generations. Its fruits are eaten, and its bark is used in traditional medicine. The tree symbolises roots, strength, and the silent power of nature – values that BARIMAH also embodies as a brand.
The memory
The Kola tree is more than just a colour. As a child in Ghana, it was one of the first impressions of the morning – collecting the fruits before the day had even properly begun. Not many childhood memories have remained, but this one has. It belongs to a grandmother who is no longer here, and to the feeling of home that is carried into every collection.
Inspired by the natural strength of West African savannas: Savanna Olive is a calm, earthy olive tone with a warm radiance.
Olive green tones are found in savannas primarily in dry vegetation, in resilient grasses, shrubs, and leaves that adapt to heat, sun, and changing seasons. It is precisely this natural, subdued green that makes the color so special: not garish, but calm, robust, and timeless.
For BARIMAH, Savanna Olive stands for focus, balance, and steadfastness – understated in look, powerful in effect. A performance tone that combines nature, movement, and inner strength.
