Letzte Woche wurde es bunt bei Schwadke Büroeinrichtungen in Rosenheim! 🎨

Beim 90° Bohne – Schwadke Designfrühstück durften wir unseren Workshop „Vom Code zur Emotion: Die Wirkung von Farbe im Raum“ gestalten. Gemeinsam haben wir erkundet, wie Farbe unsere Wahrnehmung beeinflusst, welche psychologischen, kulturellen und emotionalen Bedeutungen sie trägt und wie sich dieses Wissen gezielt in der Raumgestaltung einsetzen lässt.

Von der Theorie ging es direkt in die Praxis: Die Teilnehmenden entwickelten eigene Farbkonzepte und übersetzten ihre Ideen in Farb- und Materialboards. ✨

Vielen Dank an alle, die dabei waren, für den spannenden Austausch, die kreativen Ergebnisse und natürlich an das Team von Schwadke für die wunderbare Gastfreundschaft!

The RAL COLOUR FEELING series – from 2021+ to 2028+ – connects global colour tendencies with context-specific design. Each report combines precise colour notation with lived experience, examining how colour interacts with space, materials, light and people. All palettes are experimentally tested in real-world settings.

RAL COLOUR FEELING 2028+ continues this approach through a principle of continuity: five colours are carried forward, while ten renewed shades refresh and expand the palette. This creates coherence, facilitates new combinations and extends the useful life of colour decisions – making standardisation part of a long-term quality strategy.

12/10/2026

The RAL COLOUR FEELING 2028+ palette is designed to address the complexities of contemporary design tasks, such as hybrid usage scenarios, adaptive room concepts, and the integration of circular design principles. Each colour shade has been evaluated in terms of its spatial effect, material suitability, and cultural resonance.

Every colour within the matrix combines seamlessly with all others. The RAL COLOUR FEELING 2028+ colour palette is curated and arranged to generate endless compelling combinations; from dynamic contrasts to subtle tonal progressions. These versatile relationships enable design solutions precisely calibrated to specific contexts, brand identities or audience segments. Products gain distinction and differentiation, while spatial sequences can be fine-tuned both atmospherically and strategically.

The 2028+ colour palette has been carefully curated to reflect the concept of continuity. Five colours from the previous year continue in the new palette, whilst ten additional colours refresh and expand the selection. This approach simplifies combinability and promotes longevity in design applications.

🔶 READ – before the colour comes the place.

Every colour decision begins with a situation that is already there. An existing building, the way light moves across a day, a materiality nobody chose but everybody feels.

“Read” describes the ability to grasp exactly that: to attentively comprehend place, material, light and context, and to find threads to pick up. It sounds obvious; in practice it rarely is. Digital tools tempt us to lay palettes over spaces rather than develop them out of spaces, and light reflections, surface structures and haptics tend to fall out of the picture.

This is why RAL COLOUR FEELING 2028+ distinguishes between colour notation and colour experience: between what is written down and what happens when colour enters an environment and enters into relation. All 15 colours were tried and tested experimentally on site.

👉 Three questions for your next project: What is already here? Where does the light come from? And what deserves to be continued rather than overwritten?

🔶 RESPOND – answer, don’t overwrite.

The second step is where the design work actually happens. “Respond” means answering what has been read with care and imagination: not overwriting the existing entirely, but building on it, honouring its traces, continuing or reconfiguring them.

An answer is never neutral. Every colour choice includes or excludes, orders, orientates and makes function tangible. Design becomes relational when it builds relationships between people, space, object, material and colour, and cooperative when finding processes are shaped jointly and different needs are recognised.

The measure for all of this is resonance. A design is good when it brings into being a constellation between object, place and person that creates something greater than the elements on their own.

And in practical terms, the palette answers rather than overwrites too: five colours are carried forward, ten are renewed. Continuity here is not a compromise; it is method.

The RAL COLOUR FEELING 2028+ TRENDBOX is the practical companion to the trend report.

All 15 colours are available as RAL D6 individual sheets, powder-coated metal samples and plastic samples, and have been translated into carpet and textile samples. Colour concepts can therefore be developed and implemented across material boundaries. In the interplay of materials, it becomes apparent how differently a colour is experienced depending on its surface.

Whether you are creating interiors, product collections or integrated architectural elements, the TRENDBOX supports both creative exploration and systematic analysis of colour and material relationships.

Visit our web shop to order a box: https://shop.ral-farben.de/en

Key features:
🔹 Material variety: carpet samples by OBJECT CARPET, textile swatches by Gabriel Fabrics, semi-matt RAL sheets, plastic samples by Covestro and powder-coated metal samples by TIGER Coatings
🔹 Consistent colour schemes across different materials
🔹 Emerging colour tendencies for 2028+
🔹 Designed for architecture, product design and industrial design

Special thanks to our cooperation partners!
