A playful, almost De Stijl-inspired, curated selection of color blocking brights, the Pantone Color Institute has released their forecast for the upcoming A/W 2022-2023 season. Ten vibrant hues were determined, with a smaller, complementary collection of five neutrals to balance the highly chromatic palette.

Despite the colder weather coming in, the Pantone Color Institute has replaced the typically more subdued and darker seasonal shades for energy boosting, vivid colors. The concept was set to allow for a more fluid and easy transition between seasons, encouraging colorful self-expression through personal fashion choices well into the new year.
