Whether you're designing your living room, bedroom, or office, integrating this colour into your decor adds a touch of luxury to your home – whether combined with neutral tones or as an accent colour.

In a time of change, this soft hue represents a need for understanding and kindness. It reminds us to pay attention to our inner selves and to enjoy moments of calm, creativity, and sociability. With greater mindfulness, we can prioritize our mental and physical health, valuing precious things like time with family and friends, or simply moments for ourselves. The Pantone Color of the Year 2024 thus embodies the significance of togetherness and the joy of taking time for oneself. It radiates compassion and empathy, offers comfort, and stimulates the sense of touch. At the same time, it conveys a calm atmosphere while remaining modern.

  • Heart / Stop: In today's world, many things are not going the way we would like them to. We would like to change direction or hit the brakes sometimes. And which colour tells us to stop? Red. Not only does is represent love and hope but it’s also used when we want to advance or stop something. In fact, red is one of the most widely used colours in folklore and is therefore often found in fashion. And where there is an intense red, a vibrant blue can always serve beautifully as contrast, especially when complemented by neutralizing colours like warm grey.

  • Star-Gazer: This fourth trend is dominated by bold colours that embody mysticism, spirituality, and luxury. It's not about escaping, but about absorbing energy and inspiration, a kind of psychedelic journey. Purple, symbolizing prosperity and happiness is particularly important and has a fascinating relationship with gold. This trend is completed by a dark red and playful turquoise.

  • Young Folk: This 2024 colour trend is driven by the new generation of digital natives, who grew up with smartphones. They value colour contrasts and are ethically and environmentally conscious. Despite occasional melancholy, they strive for radical happiness and live between the metaverse and a sustainable physical world. They prefer clean, cheerful colours that are already present in the folklore of all cultures. These include a vivid pink, which is becoming increasingly important and has been attracting more and more attention since the Salone del Mobile 2022. There is also a bright green and a yellow that contains more green than red, compared to the yellows of the past.

  • Midnight Plum: A powerful dark violet that embodies space exploration and the metaverse. Inspired by images from NASA’s James Webb Telescope, which bring us closer to the secrets of the universe, this colour stimulates our imagination.

  • Sustained Grey: This 2024 colour trend reaffirms the ongoing relevance of neutral, sustainable colours that celebrate recyclability and the pursuit of simplicity. This colour represents practicality and reliability, it’s basic and down-to-earth, yet timeless and versatile.

  • Cool Matcha: A gentle pastel shade that brings calm and serenity to our everyday lives. This colour combines nature and technology, emphasizing advances in natural and plant materials, dyes, and energy sources. With people under constant stress, we are looking for colours that calm our minds and give us a sense of relaxation. Cool Matcha is a therapeutic shade of blue that is the perfect blend of botanical green and a mindful pastel tone.
