To the untrained eye, seasonal color palettes look the same each year. In autumn, for instance, you’ll have the usual burgundies and browns; but while each season carries its hallmark colors, a few surprising hues get thrown into the mix.

PANTONE has presented its color trend report for New York Fashion Week in Fall/Winter 2019/2020. This year, its predictions are reminiscent of homely festive desserts. Even some of the swatches have names like, ‘Crème de Pêche’, ‘Rocky Road’, and ‘Sugar Almond’.

Reds, browns, and pinks speckle the color authority’s new chart of 12 swatches. It’s more toned-down than last year’s Fall/Winter report, which was sprightlier and featured rainbow colors.

“Colors for Autumn/Winter 2019-2020 range from easy and sophisticated to strikingly different and unique,” describes Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the PANTONE Color Institute.

“This palette of versatile hues builds a sense of empowerment and confidence, enabling the wearer to choose the colors that best reflect his or her mood and persona.”

As always, the trend report isn’t complete without a handful of classic, staple shades that tie the standout ones together.

It’s worth noting that while these colors are expected to dominate the fashion world in the coming months, you can also incorporate them in your projects.
