ABSTRACT={Today, color is a cross-disciplinary field of research and activity, where scientific advances, design concepts and coloring techniques are opening up opportunities to rethink the coloring of our products and services, with a view to establishing a strong, high-quality local presence. Mainly chemical and mass-reproducible for the last two centuries, color has undergone a revival in recent decades, in the context of more responsible, more sustainable research and practices that seek to make the world habitable. This special issue of Technologie et Innovation analyzes the status of color and its innovations in design, in the light of new logics driven by the bioeconomy. After presenting the main seminal works defining color, this introductory article analyzes the new ways of thinking about creations in art and design, before discussing the challenges of a productivist chromatic approach for bio-based production chains. The final section summarizes the articles in this special issue, which use field studies and unifying concepts to detail the challenges of tomorrow’s design-color.}}
