The Cues from the Hues A color trend is a direction. It’s a developing awareness or an emerging preference for a color or several colors. Therefore, a color trend can change the way we think about a color and how we purchase consumer goods. In short, we constantly communicate via the medium of color.
Not only can the use of color differentiate competitive products, but studies show that it takes 90 seconds for a customer to form an opinion about a product and roughly 90% of this opinion is influenced by color.
Color plays an important role in shaping a brand’s perception and can increase conversions by up to 80% .

Pantone color of the Year – Mocha mousse A warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort. A hue that's as versatile as your favorite pair of jeans, but with a touch of earthy elegance. Mocha Mousse isn't just a color; it's a powerhouse that fits into any design vibe, from sleek and modern to extravagantly adorned.

WGSn color of the Year – Future Dusk
A dark, moody and intriguing hue, sitting between blue and purple. It has a sense of mystery and escapism, and feeds into themes of transition – whether it be moving from dark to light, or dusk to dawn – making it perfect for a period of immense change. It offers a fresh take on dependable dark blue, and manages to feel simultaneously familiar and futuristic.
