Who we are

Founded in 1982, the China Fashion and Color Association (CFCA) is a national organisation supervised by the China Association for Science & Technology (CAST) and affiliated to the China National Textile and Apparel Council (CNTAC).
The CFCA joined INTERCOLOR in 1983 and in 2004 co-founded the Asian Color Committee with Japan and Korea. In 2007, it won the National Advanced Association award and, in 2010, the CAST gave it the title of National Advanced Social Organization.
The CFCA aims to be the reference in colour. It acts as a guide for the textile industry and fashion professionals and seeks to raise awareness of colour trends in other sectors - beauty, design, architecture, automobile, decoration, etc.

The Comité Français de la Couleur has been exploring present and future colours since 1959. At first a non-profit association set up by Fred Carlin for fashion and textile manufacturers, the Comité Français de la Couleur has gradually extended its scope to all consumer and design sectors: design, luxury, gastronomy, etc.
It aims to change perception of colour and to optimise its role through various activities: preparing seasonal trend ranges, organising conferences or taking part in events that encourage thinking about and reactions to topical themes.
The Comité Français de la Couleur's members are designers, researchers, style, marketing or communication managers, all leaders in their respective fields. Whether they are free lancers or representatives of large groups, luxury brands, trade fairs, schools and institutions, they make up a hotbed of creators and colour professionals.

The British Textile Colour Group (BTCG) was created in London in 1976 to replace the British Colour Council, and the same year joined INTERCOLOR. Fully self-financing, its first members illustrate the strong influence of raw materials and fibre producers at that time, with representatives from the International Wool Secretariat, (now Woolmark), Cotton Council International, Courtaulds, ICI, etc.
The BTGC is a network for sharing ideas with designers who work with colour in a wide range of sectors: fashion, footwear, sport, automobile, beauty, food, interiors.
Its twice-yearly meetings are an opportunity to discuss intuitions about trends and colours and to share experiences and 360° views with an international audience.
The BTCG is an informal creative community which does not publish its work, which explains the deliberate lack of a website and any distribution of colour ranges.
