Colour shifts 2025-2026
Warmth
Warmer
For the 2026 palette, there’s a noticeable shift towards warmer oranges, reds and browns, departing from the range of oranges of the previous palette to embrace earthy and clay tones and warm pinks to reds, while yellow tones take on a richer, warmer quality.
Green to Kakhi
Active
The colour palette witnesses a reduction in the range of greens, marking a departure from the previous year’s shades and an emphasis on earthy greens to brown. Previously, blues and greens had evolved representing infinity, calm, and future technology, but this year, greens take on a sportive quality, embodying the vibrant hues of the outdoors alongside two clear, vibrant tones.
Blues and Purple
Interacting
The previously broad range of greyish lilacs and blues has undergone refinement, with a sharper focus on defined purple and blue hues. Last year’s harmonious evolution of lilacs and purples continues to influence the palette, particularly in how these tones interact with the important grey shade, which possesses the unique ability to render the invisible visible.
