COLOR, MATERIAL & FINISH TRENDS FOR 2026+
Our Forecasting Process emphasizes color, material, and finish trends. This enhanced process comprises two essential workshop phases:
Step One: The Future Thinking Workshop, slated for January, will identify a spectrum of macro trends for 2026 and beyond. This lays the groundwork for our ChromaZone workshops, where we forecast color, material, and finish directions. Participants can either use their identified trends or draw insights from the Future Thinking Workshop.
Step Two: ChromaZone Workshops aim to pinpoint color, material, and finish trends influenced by macro trends for 2026 and beyond. Participants can leverage macro trends explored in the Future Thinking Workshop (provided upon registration) or contribute their own trends.
Which Colors Will Shape 2026 and Beyond?
In our ChromaZone Forecasting Workshops, we engage in discussions and predictions about color, material, and finish directions to enhance services and manufactured goods. Collaborating with global industry experts helps us identify the trajectory of these trends, providing information applicable to your specific industry.
Prepare to Participate
Participants are expected to actively contribute by preparing in advance. Upon workshop registration, CMG provides a comprehensive worksheet to aid in preparation.
The Final Outcome
Within a few weeks of the workshop each participant will receive the following:
- A Digital Color Card with the final 16 selected colors referenced in NCS, RAL, Pantone, Munsell, LAB, sRGB, and Hex..
- A Digital Summary outlining CMF stories and trend directions.
