We know what you’re thinking; how could we possibly start thinking about Autumn when the temperatures have been at an all-time high. But we always like to stay ahead of the curve when it comes to colour trends. Many of our customers plan their packaging and personalisation a few weeks in advance, and we want to share some Autumn colour predictions with you.

When people think of Autumn, they are quick to embrace a colour palette full of neutrals, from camels and browns to greys and blacks. Whilst very traditional and beautiful, that can sometimes be an outdated palette given the new trends emerging. The colour forecasters at the Pantone Color Institute have just released the palette for autumn/winter 2022 fashion, and it’s all about a world emerging from pandemic lockdowns and embracing the vibrancy of life. According to the Pantone Color Institute, this season’s colours “illustrate our need to break free of restraint and embrace the joy of being alive through super bright hues expressing energy-boosting vitality and the celebration of life”. Liven up your packaging with these fall colour trends that are actually quite groundbreaking.
