Be Inspired at CMG's 2019 European Conference

Join Us in Catania, Italy to Forecast 2021 European Color Directions!

“Traditionally, CMG’s color forecasting European Conference has always had a certain uniqueness in the eyes of our membership. May it be the diversity in climate, culture, cuisine, languages, or simply Europe’s unique history, creative souls have always been intensely fascinated by the antique continent. It is this flair that establishes the atmosphere and overall climate of our European color forecasting conferences.”
