Pantone: the color of the next autumn-winter


From misty fog to concrete, shades of gray serve as the perfect neutral base to work with all other colors. For Autumn-Winter 2019/20, grays make an especially dramatic statement when illuminated by boreal light or glowing brights.

Often described as a color of scarce emotion, Gray is actually full of meaningful nuances. It is an eclectic but objective color from its coldest hues close to white to its deepest charcoal tones close to black. Gray is like a canvas, which allows you to paint to your hearts content. It is also the non-perceptible color of nature suggestive of misty fogs, extreme landscapes and unreachable horizons. It is the color of concrete and asphalt, the icon of metropolitan landscapes.
