About Global Color Research

Global Color Research™ is a creative colour consultancy recognised internationally for its accurate colour trend forecasting. 


Since 1999, Global Color Research has achieved an excellent position within the trend forecasting market, proving its ability to create reliable colour choices for future trends.
 Through our global networks and in-house team of trend consultants and colour specialists, the company aims to make colour and trend forecasting accessible to all market sectors, giving businesses a clear view of the future.

Services

To better serve its clients, Global Color Research created Mix Publications, which produces Mix Trends and Mix magazine.

Mix Trends is a forecasting book published twice a year; Mix is a quarterly colour, design and trend magazine. Both titles are internationally distributed and dedicated to innovative design through inspirational colour trends.

Under the umbrella of Mix Projects, Global Color Research offers various trend services with tailored solutions to help your brand get ahead of the competition through directional colour choices. This includes a trend consultancy service, seminars, colour theory applications, bespoke colour palettes and individual brand analysis.

Our approach

Global Color Research works with a group of external experts who each contribute trend predictions at its biannual panel meetings. An in-house team composed of colour experts, trend analysts, photographers, creatives and marketers allows Global Color Research to offer an alternative consultancy approach. Our method unites independent research, colour awareness and creative thinking to respond to the individual needs of our clients.

Markets

With offices in China, Europe, and North America, Global Color Research is now the global trend authority for any industry which uses colour, and in addition offers consultancy services across the world.

Global Color Research's Mix Publications are distributed globally and we also offer consultancy services across the world.

From fashion to interiors, lifestyle and consumer products to industrial design, Global Color Research works internationally with companies that need to incorporate colour trends into their products and services in order to increase customer appeal and satisfaction.
