The famous color forecast
Colour is so much more than the paint we roll onto our walls. This is why Plascon creates and shares a comprehensive Colour Forecast annually. Its purpose is to empower anyone to decode the world of colour and make it relevant to their unique spaces, life stages, personal tastes and sense of style.
In preparation for the 2019 Colour Forecast, the company embarked on a Kansai Paint Colour Workshop with team members from around the world. This was undertaken together with WGSN, a global trend authority, who helped to collaboratively develop insights around colour, interior and lifestyle shifts.
