Additionally you may notice the following trends in overall color palettes, per the Pantone Insitite, “organic tones emanating from nature; vibrants brights spanning all color families; many complex hues displaying greater color intensity; rich, earthy and burnt mineral tones, an assortment of nuanced neutrals, pastels and softer mid-tones and subdued and smokey variations of popular colors.”
