Following London Fashion Week, the Pantone Colour Institute has released its Fashion Colour Trend Report for Spring 2018.

With colour on the catwalk a key indicator of the colour stories we can expect to see showing up across all areas of design, Pantone’s report is a key guide to the season’s most important colour trends.

The Spring 2018 Colour Palette

“The Spring 2018 palette encourages a sense of fun and playful release. With an air of complexity and distinctiveness, we find ourselves in a sanctuary of colour that is ideal for some more unique and dramatic colour mixing.” says Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone colour Institute.

The full list of Pantone Colours are:-

  • Pantone 17-1563 Cherry Tomato: A tempestuous orangey red that exudes heat and energy.
