In the Creativity task the best painters were asked to show their creativity and color competence with a two-tone blending application as well as the technical exellence with the required branding. 

On July 9, R-M presented the results of the amazing work done. Congratulations to all participants from all over the world. The Japanese candidate Masaya Kataoka was nominated as Top 1 with a luxury design of another futuristic and emotional gradation inspired by achromatic colors as the VW Golf Touran and the Asian Pacific color trend of CODE-X. A Social media voting on Instagram finally decided on Top 2 Germany and 3 USA.  The German candidate Josephine Ellwein created a color design inspired by the evening sky with orange and pink as close to each other in the color circle. Jeffrey Naugle created a design to represent the USA with red, white and blue. The Design challenge is on-going: The next task will be kicked off to allow the painters to increase their competencies with a set of digital E-learnings.
