The world’s fashion runways will be awash in the soft shades of aquamarine, toasted almond, and custard, says Pantone Color Institute.
“Many feel compelled to be connected around the clock because we are afraid we’ll miss something important,” said Leatrice Eiseman, Pantone’s executive director.
“There is a growing movement to step out and create ‘quiet zones’ to disconnect from technology and unwind, giving ourselves time to stop and be still. Colour choices follow the same minimalistic, ‘en plein air’ theme, taking a cue from nature, rather than being reinvented or mechanically manipulated. Soft, cool hues blend with subtle warm tones to create a soothing escape from the everyday hustle and bustle.”
