The biggest color trends of 2022 are rooted in optimism, warmth, growth, and excitement as we head into the third year of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In a sense, the spring/summer 2022 color palette is self-contradictory as it envelops quiet tones as well as bold colors – acts of defiance— where the more energetic colors shine bright as if to lift your spirits high celebration of rebirth.
Colors that evince our need for comfort, clarity, and security satisfy our urge to stay with the familiar.
Like previous years, many of the colors of 2022 are again rooted in nature. I call it; blue and green are the most important colors to date. They are the colors of the sea and sky and the green earth. The colors of nature. In a world where mankind spends more and more time online, green and blue reinstate the beauty and strength of nature. ConsequentlyPantone is anticipating Spun Sugar (a pastel blue), Glacier Lake (a powdery blue), Skydiver (a bright blue) and Harbor Blue (a dark blue-green) will resonate with many next years.
In addition, the color nude will be key for spring/summer 2022 —the color appears more elevated when pairing well with highlighter colors such as neon yellow/green, or day-glow yellow and pink; these almost fluorescent colors convey the message strength and victory.
