The Trend Curve Colors™ 2018

For several years, palettes organized themselves around gray. This cool neutral was so important that every hue did its best to work with it. But in 2018, that role shifts decidedly to brown. As a consequence, the overall mood of color will tip toward warmth.

The 36 new hues in The Trend Curve Colors™ 2018 feature that directional warmth. Yet this package also includes just the right cool options to help consumers transition to, and balance, new warmth.

These hues are perfect for the important styles of 2018. Our Trend Cards give you bullet point details for 11 forecasted trends, plus a dedicated palette of volume-selling, accent and fashion-forward hues that you can use in your product development.
