Pantone, the authority by color, announces that the New York Fashion Week Color Palet will induce curiosity with a touch of nostalgia before the autumn/winter 2025 season.
For autumn/winter 2025, the colors for NYFW are “soaked in a poetic nuance, creating a mix of casual relaxation with subtle elegance,” Pantone explains. There is a “lively color dialogue between well -known, traditional neutral and dynamic, daring and deep seasonal colors.”
Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute, says in a statement: “The colors for NYFW autumn/winter 2025/2026 are approachable and accessible, steeped in with a feeling of difficult glamor.”
“While the fashion world is looking for new roads ahead, with new silhouettes, materials and textures, familiar colors are reinvented with a contemporary transformation. True creativity is not always in the pursuit of the new, but also includes the art of reinterpreting , with a lot of room to play and experiment, creating individualized looks that are new and fresh. “
The top 10 colors of this season offer a mix of familiarity with contemporary colors, which, according to Pantone, express “hope for the future”. At the front are shades of lemon, orange, green blue and cozy shades of brown, next to a soft pink, two lively Roden and an intense purple.
NYFW autumn/winter 2025 Color palette
Pantone 12-0626 ‘Lemon Grass’ is a lemon green with a slightly sweet, floral nut. This tint has already been spotted on the catwalk at Marc Jacobs, combined with ‘Bronze Brown’, and in the debut collection of Alessandro Michele for Valentino Couture.
Pantone 16-1340 ‘Brandied Melon’ is a muted orange with “a subtle spiciness” that adds warmth to the color palette.
Pantone 19-4340 ‘Lyons Blue’ is a deep tinted green-blue, which, according to Pantone, “evokes a luxury reminiscent of days gone by”.
Pantone 18-1716 ‘Damson’ is an intense purple that evokes “contemporary glamor with a dramatic vintage feeling”, according to Pantone.
Pantone 12-2904 ‘Primrose Pink’ is a delicate and soft pink hue, which brings balance in the color palette. Chanel processed the enlightening shade in her spring/summer 2025 couture collection, just like Armani Privé and Michael Cinco for their evening clothing.
