Color Trends
Issued annually, ColorForward™ is the advanced trends-analysis program developed within Clariant ColorWorks™ to help identify emerging social and cultural influences and forecast their impact on color trends in plastics. Unlike other color-trending services, ColorForward does not attempt identify the next “hot” color. Rather, the purpose of ColorForward is to inspire discussion and exploration so that product designers and marketers adapt these ideas to their own world of color.
