Fall/Winter 2026/2027 Pantone™ TCX Colour Trend Forecast | Free or Pay What you Like

Trend-Informed Textile Colour Reference Driven by Macro Trend Insights

Great commercial colour isn’t instinct — it’s insight. Trends are shaped by cultural, economic and behavioural shifts long before they reach the shop floor, which means designers must work three to four seasons ahead. This index represents hours of deep research across global forecasting platforms, retail analysis and industry sources into clear, actionable colour direction — so you can design with confidence, without the guesswork, and the huge price tags for trend subscriptions.

The Colour System

All colours selected are using Pantone™ TCX codes. TCX (Textile Cotton eXtended) is Pantone’s textile-based colour system, created specifically for fabrics and soft materials . If you are working with paper or any other substate, you can cross-check the pantones on the colour finder at  www.pantone.com

WGSN/ Coloro colours have been included and provided as the closest Pantone™ equivalent. 

Bringing your products to life

Digital screens display colour differently depending on device, 

calibration, and lighting, and all colours must be tested and approved on physical samples before final production including fabric strikes, print samples, or material swatches.
