1. The earth-inspired color of the year 2024: Bark brown, a natural, timeless hue
In 2024, bark brown established itself as one of the leading shades, celebrating nature and authenticity with its deep, rich nuances. Symbolizing stability, simplicity and comfort, this hue evokes nourishing earth, majestic forests and warmth, creating a welcoming exterior. But the trend towards earthy color palettes doesn't stop there, and naturally continues into 2025 with the arrival of the new Pantone color of the year: Mocha Mousse.
