November 2025 Color Alert®
Resilient • Transcendent • Powerful
Nature, technology, fast-paced pursuits, slow-paced living, growing your own, supporting local businesses, being a part of the world stage. To steal from a recent film title, it’s “Everything, Everywhere, All At Once.” Reach deep, consider everything, and “Co-Exist.”
The aptly named colour emerges to embody co-existence with a deep valued, subtle chroma, and balance of red and blue. Realized in 2023 for 2025 applications, Co-Exist emerged from Color Marketing Group® meetings in Latin America as a response to complexity and contradiction. It is a hue of balance, neither loud nor timid. It evokes compassion and concern without vulnerability, expressing quiet strength and purpose across product lines and aesthetics.
Historically associated with mystery and metaphysics, purple carries a transcendental quality. Yet Co-Exist is deeply rooted in nature—from eggplants and elderberries to petals and foliage. Its richness isn’t just symbolic; it's elemental.
Design-wise, its application is broad—mirroring the wide-reaching concept behind it. In a world navigating between the digital and the organic, Co-Exist finds relevance in everything from automotive exteriors to textiles and consumer goods.
In the automotive world, it can appear grand and luxurious or bold and defiant, depending on the finish. With metallic particles and high-gloss sheen, it radiates glamour and control. In matte finishes with soft textures, it becomes introspective and soothing. It’s a color that adapts—independent, yet collaborative.
For interiors, textiles, and consumer goods, Co-Exist supports and enhances a full spectrum of palettes. Its deep value offers a more nuanced contrast than stark black. Pair it with golden yellows, sage greens, or warm tans for an earthy vibe, or use it alongside glowing greens or vibrant oranges for a futuristic edge. Seemingly disparate elements find unity through its depth.
For interior design, Co-Exist can evoke after-hours sophistication, intimate dining, or simply a retreat from the everyday. It’s a hue that can startle, amuse, then soothe—its warmth slowly unfolding within the design environment.
Bold yet subtle. Mysterious yet comforting. Co-Exist is the hue that bridges contrasts—and brings everything together.

About CMG's Color Alert®
Color Alert is an exciting monthly feature from Color Marketing Group® (CMG), illuminating one color each month from our World Color Forecast™ and validating our color predictions in the market. As a color litmus test, and drawing from North American, European, Latin American, and the Asia Pacific directional Forecasts, Color Alert brings CMG's directional color stories to life, whether seen on store shelves, cruising along highways, or strutting fashion runways.
Color Marketing Group holds Color Forecasting Workshops - ChromaZones - and international Color Conferences to determine color direction approximately two years in advance (depending on industry). For instance, colors for 2025 were forecast back in 2023. As the year unfolds we reveal one color per month. The results from these events are consolidated to form CMG's World Color Forecast which is revealed annually at CMG's International Summit.
Color Marketing Group is ready to share the excitement of color on an international scale and Color Alert lets the world know that CMG members are spot on with color direction. The eyes of its members are keen on the current emergence of color while staying focused on future hues. Knowledge, discovery, direction, and affirmation make Color Marketing Group the premier international association for color design professionals, and Color Alert allows us to share it with the world.
