The CMF Process Is Broken. We're Fixing It.

Getting color, material, and finish right is one of the most time-consuming parts of product development — and one of the most important. It's what makes a product feel premium, on-trend, and intentional. It's also where projects stall.

The typical CMF workflow looks something like this: weeks of trend research across fragmented sources, pulling together mood boards, requesting physical samples from suppliers, waiting on those samples, reviewing them under different lighting conditions, going back and forth with stakeholders, and then — maybe — landing on a direction everyone agrees on.

All of that before you've even seen how the finish actually looks on your product.

We built Depix CMF Vision to change that.

What Is Depix CMF Vision?

Depix CMF Vision is a new tool that lets you explore color, material, and finish trends from around the world — and then apply them directly to any image inside Depix Image Lab.

Instead of spending days hunting through trend reports and trying to mentally project how a colorway might land on your design, you can see it. Immediately. On your actual product concept.

Spot a trend. Apply it. Evaluate it. Move on or refine. All in one flow.

Why This Matters

CMF decisions have always been slow because the gap between inspiration and visualization was wide. You'd find a finish you liked in a trend report, then spend days trying to communicate that direction to your team through swatches, reference images, and long email threads.

Depix CMF Vision closes that gap. When you can go from a global trend to a visual concept applied to your product in minutes, you're not just speeding up the process. You're fundamentally changing how CMF decisions get made.

Teams can explore more options. Stakeholders can align faster. And designers can spend their time on creative direction instead of logistics.

A New Workflow, Not Just a Faster One

This isn't about doing the same thing with less friction. It's about working in a way that wasn't possible before.

When exploring a new colorway or surface finish used to carry the overhead of weeks of research and sample coordination, most teams played it safe. They defaulted to what they knew. The cost of exploration was too high.

With Depix CMF Vision, that cost drops to almost nothing. Which means bolder decisions, wider exploration, and better products.
