Colour alert: The mood of March

Forever-Green, CMG North America's key colour for 2025, is a deep, near-black green with a yellow-green influence, evoking the mystery and tranquillity of shaded woodlands. Bold yet calming, it symbolises strength, resilience and nature’s enduring beauty. This modern take on green goes beyond traditional associations, making a striking statement in design.  

You can use Forever-Green to add depth and sophistication to spaces in your home, whether through painted walls, statement furniture or plush textiles. It brings an opulent, grounded feel while maintaining a fresh, contemporary edge.
