Colour has the ability to invoke different types of feelings. It doesn’t matter whether you are in need of a bold and bright revitalising boost or a calm and soothing moment, different hues and colours can help trigger any kind of emotions you want.

With the fashion industry developing day by day and with the focus on individual self-expression, it’s no longer a surprise that colour trends are always shifting. Just like trending styles come and go, there are some colours that have staying power and have been around for a long time.

2022 was about vibrant and bright colours. Over the years, people have realised the magic of dopamine dressing and the period of all-black looks have developed and given rise to a whole lot of colours. The neutral colours are never out of style and they will never be.

The new colours, hues or shades can be embraced in all aspects of our life and the 2023 colour trends are all about light and shade, giving us an opportunity to express ourselves on the far ends of the spectrum.
