Trend Colour Cards

Identifying colour trends is one of DMI’s core competencies.

DMI’s seasonal colour trend forecasts are an essential and indispensable foundation for creative product design across all lifestyle industries, including product, fashion, and interior design. They are indispensable for suppliers, industry, retail, and visual merchandising.

To address the market’s diversity, the seasonal colour trends are defined as four major parallel streams. Each of these four colour themes is introduced in separate mood boards, descriptions and colour harmonies that convey the overall atmosphere and immerse you in the respective colour and conceptual world.

Harmonization of colour trend forecasts among the leading trend offices from all over the world makes DMI’s colour trend forecasts self-fulfilling prophecies.

Each season, 3 to 4 seasons in advance, DMI releases three key TREND COLOUR CARDS. While they all refer to the same season, they are to be considered complementary, as they have different publishing dates and different focuses:

  • DMI LIFESTYLE COLOURS is the earliest colour trend forecast for all design fields
  • DMI FOCUS COLOURS MEN is an colour trend update to LIFESTYLE COLOURS with a focus on men’s fashion
  • DMI FOCUS COLOURS WOMEN is a colour trend update to FOCUS COLOURS MEN with a focus on women’s fashion

The TREND COLOURS are provided in six different formats:

  1. digital colour card featuring mood boards and colour harmonies, accessible in the client portal
  2. Pantone references available in the client portal
  3. digital colour values in the client portal for use in CAD applications
  4. physical printed colour card with mood boards and colour harmonies
  5. printed overview with Pantone references
  6. dyed fabric swatches for experimenting and mixing
