As we embrace the warmer months of 2025, we’re thrilled to explore the latest colour trends from the Pantone Colour Institute. Combining natural hues with neutral tones, this season’s palette brings a fresh, optimistic outlook perfect for every occasion. These colours evoke a sense of nostalgia and comfort, as the leading designers in New York and London have showcased familiar shades that provide a homely and calming feel. Let’s dive into five standout colours and see how they can elevate your packaging, paired with some of our favourite Foldabox products.
Butter yellow brings a gentle, nostalgic charm to this summer’s colour palette. Known for its warmth and lightness, this shade provides an inviting sense of calm. It’s the perfect match for packaging that aims to create a soothing, elegant atmosphere. Soft, warm, and undeniably optimistic, Butter Yellow is having a moment - from red carpets to retail displays. Dubbed the “butter movement” byVogue, this creamy pastel is being embraced by fashion leaders like Sarah Burton and Givenchy. In packaging, Butter Yellow signals approachability and subtle luxury. It’s a natural fit for baby gifting, summer-themed hampers, or confections that deserve a gentle, joyful finish.
Foldabox recommendation for Butter Yellow:
Blue continues to shine as a timeless, serene colour. This year’s icy blue has a soft, dusty undertone, making it both calming and stylish. It is ideal for packaging that exudes harmony and peace. According to Pantone, it reflects our collective need for serenity in an ever-accelerating world. This summer-ready hue is ideal for spa products, wellness brands, luxury baby gifts, or any item that requires a gentle, calming touch.
Foldabox recommendation for Icy Blue:
The earthy tones of chocolate brown are making waves this summer, offering a grounded and protective vibe. The colour of the year, ‘Mocha Mousse’, is a soft brown that radiates warmth and comfort, ideal for making any package feel like a cozy, indulgent gift. The chocolate brown tone works beautifully to enhance the luxurious look of the packaging, perfect for high-end gifts or special events. Use it for gourmet food items, coffee-inspired gift sets, or artisanal homeware collections.
Foldabox recommendation for Chocolate Brown:
Powder pink is synonymous with romance, youth, and elegance. It embodies a balletic grace that brings a sense of refined femininity to your packaging. Powder Pink is always in season, but in 2025 it’s getting a revival. Designers like Ferragamo are embracing this hue in dreamy, feminine silhouettes, and we’re seeing it echo through gifting and stationery trends as well. The gentle powder pink enhances the beauty of the packaging, making it perfect for baby showers, bridal gifts, or any occasion where a touch of elegance is desired.
Foldabox recommendation for Powder Pink:
Fresh white is the ultimate neutral, evoking calmness, simplicity, and purity. This colour provides a clean, minimalistic aesthetic that allows the contents of the package to take centre stage. Fresh White remains a staple across fashion, interiors, and packaging. It creates space for other colours to shine and provides a canvas of clarity and refinement. The subtle elegance of white works effortlessly with all kinds of gifts, from luxury skincare to statement jewellery, offering a clean canvas for all occasions.
Foldabox recommendation for Fresh White:
This summer’s Pantone shades offer an exciting range of colours, each with its own unique personality. From the warm embrace of Butter Yellow to the zen vibes of Fresh White, these colours can elevate your gift packaging and create a memorable experience for the recipient. Whether you’re looking for soft, romantic tones or grounded, earthy hues, our Foldabox products offer the perfect match to these trending colours, ensuring your packaging looks as stunning as the gift inside.
Embrace these colour trends this summer and let your packaging tell a story of elegance, comfort, and beauty!
