The trees are lush with verdant leaves, and flowers burst forth in a riot of colors... Spring announces the season of new beginnings.

In 2024, Pantone’s trending colors span the spectrum, offering both familiar pastels and daring new hues. Whether you’re drawn to vibrant tones or prefer the soothing neutrality of white, beige, and gray, there’s something for everyone this season.

This year’s trends persist in highlighting texture, patterns, intricate details, and diverse shapes. Whether it’s cozy knits or playful fringe, oversized blazers or elegant drop-waist dresses, the influence of 90s fashion remains strong. Infuse your unique flair into your style - embrace boldness and adventure. Fashion serves as an ideal platform for expressing oneself and defining identity.

Ever wondered about the origins of Pantone? It all began in the 1960s at a printing company in New York, where Lawrence Herbert, the founder, tackled the challenge of matching colors for clients. Drawing on his background in chemistry, Herbert developed a standardized color matching system that evolved into the iconic “Pantone”.

Curious about who forecasts Pantone’s color trends? The Pantone Color Institute, a consultancy within the company, predicts global color trends and advises businesses on utilizing color strategically in branding and product development.
