Robbialac, the flagship paints brand of Lankem Ceylon PLC, strengthened its connection with consumers through its partnership as the Official Colour Partner of the Derana International Kite Festival 2026, transforming the brand’s association with colour into an engaging, experiential presence at the popular family event.

Held at Galle Face Green, the festival transformed Colombo’s iconic waterfront into a spectacular display of colour, creativity and culture, bringing together local and international kite flyers. The 2026 edition featured international participation from around 30 countries, with approximately 80 international kite flyers and more than 1,000 local kite flyers.

Robbialac extended the festival’s celebration of colour beyond the skies through an interactive experience zone designed to engage visitors of all ages. The Robbialac experience zone featured a range of activities including Virtual Reality games, face painting for children and other interactive experiences, creating opportunities for families to enjoy, explore and connect with the brand in a fun and memorable environment.

“Colour is an integral part of how people experience and express the world around them, and the Kite Festival was a particularly fitting platform for Robbialac to celebrate that connection. As a proudly Sri Lankan paint, we wanted our presence to go beyond branding and create an experience that families could genuinely enjoy. The enthusiasm we saw, particularly among children, reinforced the power of creating meaningful consumer experiences around our brand and the special place Robbialac continues to hold in Sri Lankan homes,” said Chirantha De Zoysa, Chief Marketing Officer, Lankem Ceylon PLC.

Through its partnership with the festival, Robbialac continues to strengthen its relevance among contemporary consumers while reinforcing its longstanding association with colour, creativity and transforming everyday experiences.
