The warm palette echoes the season with comforting, homely colours in neutral shades. Standout shades include a rich, ruby red and brilliant violet.
The trending colours are inspired by London Fashion Week and New York Fashion Week with vivid scarlet popular in the UK and red a favourite in the US.
Earthy, cosy colours such as Tawny Port, Butterum Neutral Grey, Primrose Pink, Toast and Otter reflect the change of season while Ballet Slipper, Marina and Golden Lime are "earthy tones with a twist," says a spokesperson for Pantone.
Pantone describes Marina as the only cool colour in the palette. Pair with warm timber tones to keep a space feeling fresh and energised.
