Our Color of the Year 2021 is Brave Ground. We continuously monitor global social, design and consumer trends and create color palettes that respond to the needs of consumers. Our extensive research is translated across our business into on-trend products and colors for home interiors, furniture, flooring, cabinetry, consumer electronics, domestic appliances and the architecture, aerospace and automotive markets – truly transforming the world we live in!
We’ve teamed up with the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam for Operation Night Watch, a trailblazing partnership to conserve one of the world’s most famous artworks. It’s a project that will help us preserve a piece of history while advancing our technical understanding of color in the modern world. What we learn could even end up coloring your life!
