Vibrantz Technologies’ Color Solutions business segment announces 2026 Color of the Year

HOUSTON, Dec. 2, 2025 – The Color Solutions business unit within Vibrantz Technologies recently announced its 2026 Color of the Year. The team’s color science and commercial experts have chosen “Infinity Blue,” a deep and calming blue that evokes stillness, clarity and a sense of grounded reflection. Guided by global trend research, the hue reflects a growing desire for colors that bring balance and tranquility to everyday spaces.

Forecasted to influence design and color application trends across architectural coatings, industrial paints and thermoset plastics, “Infinity Blue” evokes the vastness of the ocean and sky—inviting a sense of serenity while offering depth and versatility to modern color palettes. Its tranquil, contemplative tone aligns with consumers’ increasing desire for balance, intentionality and grounding in their environments.

“Infinity Blue reflects the clarity, calm and intentional design direction we see shaping markets worldwide,” said Barry Misquitta, president of Color Solutions at Vibrantz Technologies. “Our teams are deeply engaged in understanding global color behavior, material trends and the needs of our customers. Selecting this hue underscores our commitment to delivering innovative, high-performing and more sustainable solutions.”

Vibrantz will unveil complementary Color of the Year palettes for North America, Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific to better represent its global customer base. Each centered around a “Infinity Blue” color, the four unique palettes will represent trending colors prevalent in their respective regions.
