Thinking In Color

Sherwin-Williams needed to reposition themselves as color-innovators amongst the architectural community. So we invited influential architects and trade media to an exclusive event, the first brand activation of its kind, Thinking In Color. An immersive experience using wearable technology that translates brainwave activity into colors – in real time.
