Martha Tilaar Foundation to Attend the 126th Intercolor to Set Global Color Trends
Joining as a member of Intercolor since 2018, the Martha Tilaar
Foundation recently represented Indonesia at the Intercolor Congress
held in Foshan, China, on November 19-21, 2025. Intercolor is a
non-profit organization initiated by international color experts, formed
in 1963 and comprising a group of color experts from various
disciplines.
At the 126th Intercolor Congress, along with 16
other countries, namely China, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, Paris, Germany,
England, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand,
Turkey, and the United States, Indonesia participated in designing and
determining world color trends for Winter 2027/2028. As in previous
congresses, in the process of determining world color trends, each
country submitted around 3-4 mood boards for developing ideas as
derivative themes from the main theme determined by Intercolor through
the congress.
Regarding the Martha Tilaar Foundation's
involvement in Intercolor, last year, in May 2024, Indonesia even had
the opportunity to host the Intercolor congress, which discussed the
Spring/Summer 2026 colors in Bali. The results of the Intercolor
congresses in Bali and Switzerland resulted in three mood boards
predicted to become trends among young people. The three mood boards
presented several color palettes ranging from soft and playful, to warm,
to bold, which match the spirit of Gen Z.
Colors aren't just
trends, they're also tools for self-expression that can be tailored to
your mood and desired message. The colors produced at the Intercolor
congress serve as a valuable reference for creators and brands across
various sectors, from textiles and automotive to interior design and
cosmetics.
