Webinars and Talks

In a time of economic pressure, geopolitical tension and cultural fatigue, colour is no longer about expression alone. It has become a tool for emotional regulation.

This 30–45 minute, visual-led webinar reframes how we understand colour in today’s interiors, furniture and product environments. Rather than starting with palettes or trend lists, Michael Cleghorn and Lou Petersen explore why colour behaviour is changing, and how emotional needs are shaping the way colour is used; with more restraint, clearer intent and greater psychological purpose.

Grounded in the MC&Co Trend Intelligence System™, this session introduces a behaviour-first lens that explains how emotion becomes colour choice, contrast, depth and proportion. Attendees are guided through the four Approaches to Life — Optimistic, Ambitious, Disciplined and Accomplished, to understand how the same colour can communicate confidence, calm, authority or reassurance depending on context.

This is not a forecast reveal. It is a decoding of the logic behind what we are all seeing, and why it feels different.
