The runway shows held prior to the new year serve as inspiration for the upcoming season’s color palettes and fashions.
Color forecasting is the art and science of predicting what colors consumers will want to wear in the near future, and while the runways have a significant impact on the colors that make it down to stores, there are other factors, such as; travel, art, technology, fashion, and entertainment.
On the other hand, the fashion color trends for 2023 are also influenced by other color specialist companies. Color forecasting services, such as those offered by Pantone and Dulux, examine yearly trends in different industries to determine which colors will be popular in a variety of consumer goods, from paint to evening wear.
Viva Magenta Is Pantone Color Of The Year 2023
Pantone, the authority on color, has released its seasonal color trend report in anticipation of the Fall 2023 New York Fashion Week and it seems like we’re in for a really vivid autumn.
Based on what designers are drawn to and the general mood, Pantone’s Color Trend Report predicts the essential colors for every given season.

Also, the report features some more toned down colors for those who prefer them, these colors including; a pale orange-y beige (Tender Peach), a calming blue (Persian Jewel), a “mentholated green” (Carnival Glass), and a washed-out rosy brown (Burnt Sienna).
This season, the firm also debuted five “new classics” at New York Fashion Week, it included a silky ivory (Coconut Milk), a stylish brown (Doe), a deep grayish blue (Eclipse), a decadent chocolate (Hot Fudge), and a metallic gray (Silver Birch).
