The Color Dial Spray designers Young-suk Kim and Woo-sik Kim envision the [refillable system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nomad-refill) as a way to keep used spray paint cans out of the landfill. While this is greener than one-use cans, a lot will depend on what propellant is used to get the paint out of the can. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.0/10 - Popularity: 46% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Refillable Spray Paint:** Opportunity for companies to create refillable spray paint systems that reduce waste and offer custom color options. - **CMYK Mixing Technology:** Potential for innovation in paint mixing technology that allows users to dial in specific colors using the CMYK system. - **Sustainable Graffiti Tools:** Emerging market for eco-friendly graffiti tools that minimize environmental impact while still allowing creative expression. ### Where This Applies - **Art Supplies:** Art supply companies can explore new refillable spray paint products to cater to environmentally-conscious artists. - **Paint Manufacturing:** Paint manufacturers have an opportunity to develop innovative CMYK mixing technologies for commercial and consumer applications. - **Graffiti Tools:** Companies specializing in graffiti tools can focus on designing sustainable options that meet the needs of artists and reduce waste. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multipurpose Metallic Spray Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spray-bottle-concept.md) - [Digital Ink Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/colorpik-pen.md) - [Graffiti-Inspired Marker Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/graffitiinspired-marker-set.md) - [AR Spray Painting Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ar-spray-painting.md) - [Mess-Free Eco Craft Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/create-n-colour.md) - [Affordable Color-Matching Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/datacolor-spectro-55.md) - [Can-Based Cleaning Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-can-starter-kit.md) - [Spray Can Fragrances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/step-aboard.md) - [Removable Wall Paints](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unpaint.md)
