From fashion and interiors to your next dinner party tablescape, here are the colors taking center stage this spring.

🌸 1. Powder Pink

Delicate and romantic, powder pink is making a strong return. Designers like Alaïa and Akris embraced this soft, versatile hue in flowing dresses and tailored pieces alike. It’s the perfect shade to soften up structured looks or infuse feminine charm into everyday wear. Try incorporating it through throw pillows, nail color, or even a statement handbag.

☀️ 2. Butter Yellow

This isn’t your average sunshine yellow—2025 is leaning into a soft, subtle butter hue that brings warmth without overwhelming. Butter yellow has been spotted in collections by Chloé and Chanel, and it pairs beautifully with creamy neutrals, soft blues, and even a crisp white. In the home, think table linens, ceramics, or a fresh coat of paint on a front door.

🌿 3. Pistachio Green

Pastel green is still trending, and this year, pistachio is having its moment. It’s a gentle nod to nature and looks amazing in both fashion and interiors. Picture linen trousers, spring blazers, or kitchen accessories in this soothing shade. It also plays well with other trending colors like powder pink and mocha brown.

☕ 4. Mocha Mousse (Pantone Color of the Year 2025)

Rich, grounding, and endlessly chic—Mocha Mousse is the color that ties everything together. Whether used as a base in your wardrobe or a backdrop for pops of pastel in your decor, this earthy brown is the perfect neutral for spring. Think leather sandals, woven bags, or even accent furniture for a cozy, elevated vibe.

🌤️ 5. Sky Blue

Classic and calming, sky blue reflects everything we love about spring—the fresh air, clear skies, and the feeling of possibility. Designers are using this cool-toned favorite in everything from outerwear to flowy maxis. At home, try it on bedding, curtains, or tableware for a serene update.
