NEWS! Pantone View Colour Planner No. 54
Spring Summer 2026
Our brains are the most complex and sophisticated entities in the known universe. Just like a sponge changes shape when it absorbs liquid, our brains change and grow throughout our lives by absorbing and discarding knowledge. Every day, our brains adapt to a new landscape of wisdom, and this learning process changes our form minute by minute. As we step through the doors that AI and generative design have opened for us, we enter a realm of limitless digital learning. Many of us have reached a point where our brains are so filled with knowledge that we must now develop the skill to empty our minds and give our bodies space to feel nothing. We must learn to reconnect with ourselves instead of randomly connecting with everything, everywhere, all at once. Although the mind and brain are often considered interchangeable, they are not.
The mind generates energy through thinking, feeling, and choosing. The physical brain reacts. It is up to us as individuals to control this (sometimes conflicting) process and bring it to understanding. The way we do this makes us human and unique. In a world filled with challenges from diverse viewpoints, it is important to draw on universally humane qualities and understand that, although we have different belief systems, we are all trying to understand the world around us and make sense of our unique experience in it. We are the world we perceive.
Speaking of perception, welcome to our new mind-oriented, brainstorming colour palettes for Spring/Summer 2026. We hope you find them thought-provoking and fascinating. Remember, colour is a brain stimulant, affecting our perception and stimulating our nervous system.
There are many color cards on the market, but we believe ours is unique. We've put all the industrial experience of our color group into making an easy-to-use card that's cost-effective and time-saving, with palettes divided into base shades and fashion highlights. This product speaks the language of color and covers everything from fashion to interior design, from cosmetics to industry.
This product is a proven tool, easy to use and with proven results.
Let us honour and respect this relationship while harmonizing with the new developments that technology and AI have to offer.
We introduce each palette with four key colours. These colours form your merchandising base, which should remain constant for the season. In combination with the supplementary colours found on the following pages, the key colours can be incorporated into various exciting stories. (All colours in Pantone Strips - ready to be used for product development)
- KEY COLOURS + SUPPLEMENTARY COLOURS
Here, we add two to four supplementary colours to the key colours shown at the beginning of the chapter. These supplementary colours will allow you to develop, transform, and individualize the core. We present these supplementary colours as additions to the colour bar on thought-provoking inspiration pages. Sometimes, different supplementary colours can lead us in completely different inspiring directions. However, we never use more than four supplementary colours per palette.
We enhance our palette with harmony pages, where the key colours are presented in different combinations, transformed not only by the supplementary shades but also by occasional colours chosen from other parts of the general colour card. Creating colour mixes and harmonies is one of the great strengths of the PantoneView Colour Planner.
Here, we show you how product ranges can now be coloured using the various palettes to create a point of difference while still functioning as a cohesive whole.
To complete our product, we offer a USB stick and a poster. The USB stick contains a complete catalogue of every visual image used throughout the book and catalogue, organized by story chapter and end-use.
Inside our USB stick, you will find a five-minute film specially commissioned for each book, telling our stories in an inspiring and emotional way, accompanied by suitable music. These films have become a beloved success story in their own right.
The Pantone View Colour Planner is released twice a year, in January and June.
