Colours Unbound

Trend colours 2026

Colours are no longer mere companions of everyday life. They are an expression of freedom, identity and transformation.

This year's trend colour title, 'Colours Unbound', unleashes the power of colour beyond convention. We break with the familiar, celebrate the unexpected and explore the boundaries between reality and imagination. Every colour, every nuance becomes a medium for stories that move, inspire and provoke. 

Colours Unbound presents a world that is out of balance, and in which resistance is growing – nourished by art, imagination and the courage to express oneself. The mundane takes on a new lustre and revives the yearning for uniqueness. Craftsmanship becomes an expression of passion and creativity. Escapism is not an escape, but an inspiring journey to find oneself in nostalgic or digital worlds. Nostalgia remains minimalist, with a focus on the essentials.

Colours Unbound is more than a trend. It is a manifesto for creative freedom.
