Pantone released a top 10 for their trending colours for Spring and Summmer 2024 as well as 5 classics!
Here they are!
NB: I will be grouping the colours as much as possible as we explore!
1. Red Alert: Rooibos Tea Elegance
In the aftermath of Valentine's Day, the coluor red is stealing the spotlight. Beyond being an antioxidant powerhouse, Rooibos Tea Red is the embodiment of love and passion.
Check out our blog on why red dominates Valentine's Day here.
Reds don't play favourites; they pair flawlessly with yellow, white, orange, green, black, and the stunning blue – my personal favourite combination with red! Picture a chic red dress or jumpsuit with a bold blue – absolute perfection!

2. Blues: A Symphony of Calmness and Inspiration
Dip into the calming ocean of blues, embodying calmness, peace, relaxation, wisdom, and inspiration. Picture slipping into a chic blue outfit on a stressful day- a calming antidote to the chaos of the day.
Darker blues like the Marlin in this top 10 trending colours for Spring and Summer 2024 definetly pair well with bold colours like white, red, pale pink (another fave combination of mine), yellow and light blue (loveeee!😍😍).
However, lighter blues like this set below pairs well with colours like white, grey, peach, pink and dark blue ( I've already shared my thoughts on this combo) .
3. Orangeade: Where Red Meets Orange in Perfect Harmony!
Say hello to Orangeade – the flawless fusion of red and orange! It's more than a colour; it's a mood booster with a fruity, citrusy touch.
Radiating optimism, happiness, and enthusiasm, this shade is a must-have. Pair it with natural tones or any shade of green for that perfect pop of energy!
4. Greens: Mint and Watercress Magic!
Chileeee, green is the color of tranquility, health, wellness, freshness, creativity, fertility, and good luck! No wonder leprechauns wear green!
So to good luck, good health and good wealth I'm definitely going to be getting this gorgeous FLORAL PLUS SIZE SEXY SUMMER MAXI DRESS (below) which is a new arrival to our Bloom into Beauty Spring Collection for 2024!
The lushness of green pairs seamlessly with classics like white, gray, beige, brown, and black. But hold on🫸🏽 – Vogue suggests going bold with purple this year! Stay tuned for the purple magic.
5. Purples: A Tale of Lilac and Deep Royalty!
Purple is my all time favourite colour because of what it represents- luxury, indepenence,early love, peace, pride, power, extravagance, dignity, mystery, power, creativity and of course royalty!
Pantone and Vogue differ slightly in the purple department this year. Pantone leans towards pastel Lilac, while Vogue goes deep with a rich, luxurious purple.
Both stunning choices, but the real twist is Vogue's suggestion to pair a deep purple like this fringe pants set with green!
However, deep purple plays well with black, navy blue, yellow, white, gold, and copper. Meanwhile, pastel Lilac dances gracefully with orange, green, grey, and yellow. Decisions, decisions!
6. Lemon Drop Yellow: A Splash of Sunshine and Happiness!
It's time to soak in the sunshine with Lemon Drop Yellow! This vibrant hue brings happiness, hope, laughter, and energy.
Whether as an accent or stealing the show, it surprisingly pairs well with grey and the Marlin blue. It's like wearing a ray of sunshine! Brighten up your day!
7. The Classics: White, Mushroom, Greys, and Browns
Pantone's classics – whites, mushroom, greys, and browns – are the foundations of a mindful wardrobe.
White symbolozes purity, freshness, cleanliness, wholeness and innocence. It is usally paired with a darker colour to create a beautiful contrast.
Mushroom represents uniqueness, the grey shades represent balance, neutrality and modesty. Greys pair well with white, pink, soft blue, vibrant yellows or reds
Browns, much like a sturdy tree trunk, represents strength, sustainability, nurturing, reliability, and dependability. The browns pair well with olive green, white, black, blue, and cream.
Pair these classics thoughtfully for a wardrobe that speaks volumes- creating stunning contrasts and well-balanced outfits!
