Forecasted Spring Tones Celebrate Nature, Vitality, Digital Connection

Appetizing shades of butter, olive oil and mango sorbet are probably not the first visuals that come to mind when dreaming up spring fashion trends. But according to trend forecasting firm WGSN and color system company Coloro, a sister brand of WGSN, spring 2022 colors are fittingly inspired by life’s “simple and sartorial pleasures.” And that leitmotif takes form in a buoyant, saturated magenta called “Orchid Flower,” which leads the season; “Olive Oil,” a rich and trans-seasonal plant-based greenish hue; “Butter,” a soft, creamy, pale yellow that looks as good as it sounds and is touted for its genderless appeal; “Mango Sorbet,” a tropical hue of a juicy, energizing sunny yellow; and “Atlantic Blue,” which “echoes the hues of organic indigo dyes and the ocean,” the companies said, adding that the color is a favorite of slow-fashion brands. Sharp awareness of consumers’ collective consciousness was a key part of the firms’ forecasting, which involved going a bit deeper into our shared senses during a time of panic and uncertainty during the coronavirus pandemic. “Olive Oil” will be a key part of the color palette for spring 2022, according to WGSN and Coloro.
