Meet Datacolor at DOMOTEX 2026
From January 19–22, 2026, Datacolor will be at DOMOTEX in Hannover, the global home of flooring and interior finishing. Visit us in Hall 21, Stand C21 and see how a single, connected color workflow helps you deliver repeatable color across materials, suppliers, and production sites.
DOMOTEX is expanding its scope to reflect how interiors are specified today, bringing flooring together with adjacent surface categories like paints, wallpapers, and more. That makes it the perfect place to talk about what matters most to brands, designers, and manufacturers alike, confidence that color will look right and stay right.
Designers create one look that stays consistent across every material
Designers rarely work with a single substrate. A collection or interior scheme might combine textile, wood, plastic, paint, and coated surfaces, all expected to feel like one cohesive story.
The challenge is that each material “speaks” color differently. Texture, gloss, translucency, optical brighteners, grain direction, and surface finish can shift perception even when a color is technically close. The result is often extra sampling rounds, late-stage compromises, or a design that looks consistent in the studio but diverges in production.
Datacolor helps designers and specifiers build a reliable, objective color reference, so creative intent can be translated into measurable targets that production teams can reproduce. With the right measurement, visualization, and communication workflow, you can align teams on what “right” looks like, then keep that decision stable as the design moves across materials and suppliers.
Manufacturers guarantee color consistency from the first batch, everywhere they produce
For manufacturers in flooring, wood, coatings, and wall finishes, color consistency is not a nice-to-have. It directly impacts customer satisfaction, claims, rework, and brand trust.
Here’s a simple, real-world example:
A homeowner installs laminate or vinyl flooring today. A year later, they buy an extra pack to replace a damaged area or extend the room. They expect the new material to match the existing floor, not “close enough,” but the same color quality, under real home lighting.
That expectation becomes even harder when production is distributed. If you manufacture the same product in multiple plants, or you source from different suppliers, the market still sees one brand and one promise. You need to guarantee the match regardless of where the product was made.
This is where a digital color workflow pays off. When color is captured as dependable data, linked to a clear standard, and controlled with consistent tolerances, you can:
- Hit target faster, reducing time to approval
- Minimize shade variation between batches and lines
- Harmonize output across plants and regions
- Reduce scrap, sorting, and costly customer claims
- Protect brand consistency at scale
What you can explore with Datacolor at DOMOTEX
At our booth, we will focus on practical workflows for interior finishing manufacturers and the design teams that support them, including:
- How to set up repeatable standards and tolerances that multiple plants can follow
- How to reduce batch-to-batch variation and get closer to “right-first-time” production
- How to support designers with color targets that translate across textile, wood, plastic, and paint
- How to strengthen supplier alignment with consistent measurement practices and shared data
If you bring a sample, a target, or a recurring color challenge, our team can help map the most effective path to stable results.
We support manufacturers, designers, and suppliers of interior and decorative materials with objective color measurement, formulation, and quality control tools; helping ensure consistent color results across materials, processes, and production locations.
Datacolor solutions are used across the full color workflow, from design and specification through production and quality control.
