The Colour Insights Team

This year we brought together a diverse array of consultants, experts and designers from across political, technological, environmental, built environment and interior design landscapes to develop a unique viewpoint on the global influences driving forward design.

Though a one-day immersive discussion, hosted by our Crown Colour team, we uncovered and explored the trends that are shaping the mood of the moment, as well as the vision of the future.
