Color trends every fashion week are some of the most fun to grasp, and they act like a general temp check on how designers and shoppers feel. The Pantone Color Institute unveiled its latest Fashion Color Trend Report for New York Fashion Week's Fall/Winter 2025 shows, and it forecasted which bright hues will reign supreme for the season. According to the experts, familiar shades will get slightly new twists.

This year’s trending palette balances timeless neutrals with vibrant and rich hues, like Damson, an intense purple; Lyons Blue, a sort of teal; Winterberry, a rich rouge; Lemongrass; and several more unique, standout shades. Seasonless color trends this for Fall/Winter in the Big Apple lean into muted shades of gray, with a splash of mauve.

"As fashion looks for new ways forward, originating new silhouettes, materials and textures, familiar colors are being reinvented with a contemporary transformation. True creativity doesn’t always lie in the pursuit of the novel, but includes the art of reimagining, giving lots of room to play and experiment, creating individualized looks that are new and fresh,” Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute Leatrice Eiseman noted in a press release.

With New York Fashion Week as a launchpad, these colors are poised to influence not only runway collections but also street style, beauty, and beyond. As fashion continues to evolve, the Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report serves as both a roadmap and inspiration, proving that the future of color is not just about what’s next—but how designers redefine what’s already known. This season’s colors don’t just set trends—they invite play, individuality, and bold self-expression.
