Colour

We are colour experts:

Our directional colour palettes are informed by an in-depth understanding of how and why colour families evolve.

In the CMF forecast we illustrate how colour interacts with properties of surface and material.

The standards for these colours are referenced to the closest Pantone, NCS and RAL, plus RGB, CMYK, LAB and HEX breakdowns.

Material and finish

Each theme features the key materials, surface patterns and finishes in a focused layout.

New for SS 2022, a styling section profiles the CMF story in real-world context for inspirational design direction.
