Pantone, a global authority in the field of color and provider of professional color standards for the design industry, presented the Pantone® Fashion Color Trend report Report Autumn/Winter 2025/2026 NYFW. This report includes ten basic shades, as well as five neutral colors, which we will see in the new collections of designers in the Autumn/Winter 25/26 season.

According to Pantone Color Institute experts, the color palette of the autumn/winter 2025/2026 season is filled with poetry, combining ease with refined elegance. The dialogue between the usual neutral shades and dynamic, deep and saturated color solutions creates an expressive contrast and opens up new ways for creativity and self-expression. The palette is based on the interweaving of familiar shades with colors symbolizing hope for the future, which forms the path to authenticity and a meaningful life.

"This season's colors have a natural glamour, making fashion accessible and attractive", — Liatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of Pantone Color Institute.

"In search of new trends, fashion designers rethink familiar colors, giving them modern features. True creativity does not always consist in the search for new things, but also in the art of reinterpretation, which gives room for experimentation and individual self-expression."
