Trendscape
Your vision deserves to shine. With Trendscape, it will.
Some things in life are black and white—but not when it comes to finding that perfect shade. Blacks, whites, reds, blues, or anything in between... You open a fan deck, browse through the dozens of options, and think, “I’ll know it when I see it.” But what happens when none of them feels quite right?
That’s where we come in. At FinishWorks, we understand the delicate art of color and design. Led by Rodney McFalls, Director of Color Styling and Interpretive Design for the RPM Industrial Coating Group, our team is passionate about turning your vision into reality and that is why we're excited to announce that Trendscape 2025 is coming soon!
Trendscape allows you to stay ahead with expert insights on the finishing trends defining the year ahead — plus get a first look at new innovations from FinishWorks, crafted to elevate your materials and keep your designs competitive.

"We don't follow trends.
We influence them."- Keith Jones, Color Stylist
McFalls and his team rely on substantial market research to reveal how demographics, current events, and economics might be driving collective emotion. His team knows where and why certain color palettes are popular. They know how to incorporate a trend, while also considering its history and its life cycle. This all adds up to a team who not only anticipates trends, but actively participates in creating them.
