About Hue Intelligence: A Strategy for Color Trends
Color observation is a skill.
Color foresight is a strategy.
Color trends move fast. Knowing which ones actually matter—and why—is a different skill entirely. Hue Intelligence is the only color strategy course built on 10 years of data, mapped across 5 major color authorities. Not instinct. Not preference. Strategy.
Most color courses teach you how colors look. Fewer teach you what they mean. Almost none teach you what drives them. And when it comes to color trends, most designers rely on a single source.
We’ve analyzed color trends across Pantone, Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, Behr, and WGSN and compiled a full decade of data—tracking the cultural forces driving each shift, where the authorities aligned, and where they diverged. That tension is strategic information. And it’s not available anywhere else.
What You’ll Work With
01.
The Hue Archives
So you can spot patterns, not just colors
10 years of color trend data across 5 authorities, including the patterns, drivers, and cultural signals. A resource you’ll return to long after the course ends.
02.
The Hue Fit Framework
So you can test before you commit
A proprietary filter that tests whether a color truly fits a brand, audience, or offer before you commit. No more gut-check-and-hope.
03.
Cultural Intelligence
So your decisions hold up across audiences
Color doesn’t mean the same thing everywhere. That lens informs this course—and shows up where the data calls for it.
This course is for:
Designers who want to walk into client conversations with data, not just a good eye
Creatives who do not want their work to blend in
Brand owners making intentional color decisions—not reactive ones
What this course isn’t
If you’re looking for a tutorial on spinning a color wheel or a guide on pairing pretty colors, this isn’t it.
You likely already know how to pick colors that look good together. Hue Intelligence shifts how you think—not hand you a palette. No basic color theory. No surface-level aesthetics.
Color is never just color. It’s a cultural response. Now you’ll know how to use that.

Nicte Cuevas, Principal of Nicte Creative Design, empowers mission-driven businesses through strategic design & branding. After teaching color trends to over 57,000 students on LinkedIn Learning, she kept seeing the same thing—people excited about trending colors but using them like a fad, not a tool. This course exists to fill that gap.
