There will always be at least one pink tone that makes an appearance on the runways - let us not forget the color-drenched Valentino hot pink from 2022 or Pantone's Rose Quartz aka Millennial Pink from 2016 - but this season there was a mix of subtle baby pinks across the board. Some designers chose to lean into the peach tones, some towards a more 'true tone' shade, but they all agreed that the color should make an appearance. astel Paradise Colors for 2026 - trends to watch

Good news for those of you who were hopping on the butter yellow bandwagon as it skyrocketed in popularity this summer, it looks like it's here to stay, at least for one more season! Butter yellow is a soothing color often associated with comfort, positivity, and sunlight, which is one of the reasons we see it used in clothing for children.

Baby Blue is what one can consider a 'nearly-neutral' color, meaning that you can pair it with nearly every other color, and it's also a color that is universally flattering on any skin tone. Baby blue has never really been "out" as a color, but the industry is definitely weighting the scales in it's favor this season.



Interestingly, designers were keen to pair these colors with hyper-feminine styles and soft silhouettes, which included yards of lace and sheer fabrics.


Lavender

Lavender is the new kid on the color scene this season - it's had it's attempts at reemergence over the last decade, but it's never really seemed to stick. Now with more designers favoring it than ever before, it's showing good signs of staying power for Spring 2026. Keep an eye out for this subtle color to be paired with chunky textures and bold prints.
