The TypoCircle
The Future isn't Black and White – Thursday 29th February, 19:00-21:00pm – PAID - London
In an increasingly monochromatic world, “The Future isn’t Black and White” is a talk that explores how colour has been a silent but powerful force that has shaped and defined culture throughout the ages.
Colour has always been used to not just signal influence and power but also affect everything from our consumer choices to our personal and cultural identity. The talk argues how today we are approaching a ‘fading vibrancy’ of everything, from consumer goods, to cars and clothing, and the undeniable trend towards muted and dull colour palettes in our everyday lives and how the world around us seems to be losing its colour.
The talk will delve into the profound influence of colour on us personally and how it impacts our creativity, mood and overall quality of life. It will showcase the personal nature of colour through G . F Smith’s own creative marketing over the last 60 years, through to the largest global colour study and search for ‘The World’s Favourite Colour’ by G . F Smith in 2017.
