I think it was Selena Gomez who said, “Every beautiful thought’s been already sung.” In both music and color, it often feels like there’s nothing truly new. But alas, more pop anthems are born, and companies like Pantone somehow continue to conjure up novel hues each year. This time, though, the global color authority has outdone itself — not just releasing one standout shade or even a few, but a whopping total of 175 never-before-seen hues, now available across all of Pantone’s Fashion, Home + Interiors (FHI) products.
Collectively called Pantone FHI Dualities, this expansive shade spread is divided into two distinct palettes — shadow and pastel — crafted to capture life’s nuance. With this collection, creating visual depth within current color trends is easily achievable. The 77 shadow hues revisit the basics, exploring the spectrum between black and white with a range of warm and cool grays. This gentle take on extremes feels grounded, providing a sophisticated yet understated foundation for any design.
