Who is Pantone?

Pantone is a company best known for its Pantone Matching System (PMS), a standardized colour-matching system used across various industries, including printing, graphic design, fashion, product design, and manufacturing. Because of its in-depth colour knowledge, Pantone is a great source of information when it comes to colour trend forecasting. 

In this blog, we'll be referring to their London Fashion Week Colour Trend Report for Autumn/Winter 24-25 for colour inspiration.

Believe it or not, this information is not top secret. Pantone publishes their trend reports throughout the year, every year. So if you're ever stuck for inspiration, all you have to do is search!

First up: Pantone's Almond Milk, Pureer Pumpkin, Misted Yellow

Otherwise known as Stone, Ginger or Light Mustard

Just Hoods JH001 Colours:

Stone, Ginger Biscuit, Mustard

Bella+Canvas 3001 Colours:

Soft Cream, Autumn, Mustard

Both JustHoods and Bella+Canvas are known to have extensive colour ranges which are both influenced by retail and this is extremely apparent in this particular comparison.

Aside from the neutral choice from Bella+Canvas being a touch warm when compared to Pantone's Almond Milk, the colour choices from all 3 brands match really well.

Next: Pantone's: Storm Front, Rain Forest and Dark Shadows

Otherwise known as: Steel Grey, Green and Charcoal

Just Hoods JH001 Colours:

Graphite Heather, Moss Green, Storm Grey

Bella+Canvas 3001 Colours:

Steel Blue, Forest, Asphalt.

Bearing in mind that any digital representation will never accurately convey the true colours of a garment, these combinations are not the worst match we've ever seen.

The Bella+Canvas Forest is much darker than Pantone's Rain Forest shade but it still fits really nicely with the other shades proving that you can create your own interpretation of any trend that hits the garment scene, and it still look really nice.

Next up: Pantone's Cherry Tomato, Sunburn and Eggplant.

You might be thinking, who on earth would pair a cherry tomato with such muted shades? But a pop of colour is a great way to create small accents within a design or a layout. The Cherry Tomato in itself is slightly muted when compared to a traditional red making it on theme for this years muted tones by Pantone/

This colour pairing proved more difficult to find garment matches than the previous colour combinations. While JustHoods have won the Eggplant section with the Wild Mulberry Hoodie, Bella+Canvas take the closest Sunburn match with their Terracotta 3001 t-shirt.

JustHoods JH001:

Soft Red, Caramel Latte & Wild Mulberry

Bella+Canvas 3001:

Poppy, Terracotta, Royal Purple

Next: Pantone's Iguana, Pine Cone, Sheep Skin.

This colour combination will not be a stranger to you. This is a classic earthy neutral pairing that will trend for an age. As you can see from the colour comparisons between Bella+Canvas and Just Hoods, not a single colour is a spot on match for the Pantone but all 9 shades look incredible together regardless. The range of light and dark neutrals in both Bella+Canvas and JustHoods collection is extensive. Bella+Canvas offer 14 different greens alone, so regardless of your preferred shade of this Pantone colour collection, we're confident you'll find a matching shade for your collection with these brands.
