“Freedom to redefine color usage, this season’s palette contrasts warm familiar shades with more vibrant, stimulating colors and foundational tones.”
In past seasons, blues, greens, and yellows have dominated the conversation. This year, the spotlight shifts toward reds, pinks, and purples, ushering in a fresh opportunity for expressive, emotionally rich design.
Keeping it Classic Neutral
Alongside the main palette, Pantone also introduces a set of Timeless Classics. They’re neutral tones designed to ground the bolder colors. While these hues are typically subtle and versatile, you’ll often find a surprise statement shade included for balance.
