The NYFW color trend report for spring/summer 2022 reflects consumers' desire for balance after the pandemic, Pantone Colour Institute experts explain, offering both "comfort, clarity and safety" and room for "spontaneity, excitement and joy."

A trend palette of ten colors has been launched along with a series of five "core classics" that includes pastel shades, in addition to a vibrant yellow, a warm pink, and a fiery red, as well as a deep purple.

Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, said in the press release, "The colors for spring/summer 2022 bring together our conflicting desires for comforting familiarity and joyful adventure through a range of soothing and timeless colors, along with joyful hues that celebrate playfulness."

"As we enter this new landscape where fashion rules no longer apply, the colors for Spring/Summer 2022 allow us to mix and match as we please, encouraging the exploration of new chromatic realities and opening the door for personalized style and spontaneous color statements."
