PANTONE VIEW COLOUR PLANNER S/S 2026
INTRODUCTION
Welcome then to our new mind-oriented, brainstorming colour palettes for Spring/Summer 2026. Our palettes incorporate both the emotional right and analytical left brains. We have a balanced and sensible range of colour, working alongside vibrant, stimulating, inquisitive shades. In the same way, there is a feeling of lingering nostalgia in some colour families, that is contrasted by hues that want to explore the future; these combined factors give us a very new way of putting colours together. For example, very stable, popular colours are mixed with colours that are difficult to classify or categorise.
And never forget that colour is a brain stimulant, effecting perception and prodding our nervous systems!
THE UNCONSCIOUS MIND
A pure white, a deep black, a neutral grey, and a dark khaki brown. There is something relaxing about these colours. They allow the mind to take a breath before our imaginations are allowed to run wild.
THE LUCID MIND
Colours chosen for their calming effect on the mind. Unsaturated aquatic tones that are gently soothing; transparent textures that are aerated; and soft pastel tones promoting mental harmony.
THE SENSORY MIND
Four delicate and sensorial shades that speak of tactility, caressing melodies, effervescent aromas, tasty flavours, and bodily and carnal sensuality.
THE CREATIVE MIND
At the core of this palette lies a quartet of bolstered brights, all of which possess a confident, pure, and uncomplicated spirit. These tones are fully charged and super saturated.
THE INSTINCTIVE MIND
The subtle hues of natural cognition and the miraculous intellect of nature are interlaced by gossamer connections. In these continuously interchanging shades, there is a balance between depth and lightness, connection and unity.
THE EXPANDED MIND
An almost white, an ethereal aqua, a bruised lavender and a whispery grey. They indicate the origins of this story: a dream space. A place where our mind can expand and fly to other worlds.
THE IMMERSIVE MIND
We feature four mute shades that merge greys to brown and blues, ink dark and softly muted. They are pivotal in the landscape of the casualised uniform we all inhabit.
THE DEEP MIND
Tones that speak of deep connection with the essential and fundamental make up this range – a dark blood tone, a magnetic blue, an introspective purple and a full brown.
