Beauty Color Trends 2021-2022
As technology and innovation continue to accelerate, we tend to lose our balance as human beings. Intuitively, we look to our roots, seeking connections to our origin. Inspired by the Pantone Color Institute™, for the 2021-2022 seasons, we explore two contrasting stories, celebrating different perspectives and energies as we unleash our raw instincts.
Our Fall/Winter 2021/22 trend, Source, invites us to (re)discover the idea that each element in nature has a soul. The Source color trend illustrates a naturally inspired color range that extends beyond traditional neutrals.
The Source color palette channels the naturally inspired shades of an enchanted forest, from sparkling minerals to rich herbs and vibrant roots. The soft, earthy tones of the Fall 2021 palette intensify as the season shifts to Winter 2021/22 bringing in the holiday season.
The Source effect pigment palette echoes the essence of Source with calm, earth tones reaching new dimensions and richness to celebrate the beauty of mother nature. Featured are shifting colors, sparkles and a hint of vibrant violet hues.
