Marilyn's Photos - Dec 29 2025 - 2025 Colour Mistakes

 

There we are trying to make up for bad eating, not saving enough money, gaining weight, and failing to excel at a new hobby.  What about the catastrophic colour mistakes we made in 2025?  Shouldn’t we be adding that to the list for things to do in 2026 with some New Year’s Colour Resolutions?   Here is a handy guide to find your 2025 mistakes and make somem commitments to correct them in 2026.  "Overused neutrals and beige dominance. Instead, opt for rich, warm neutrals like taupe, greige, or soft beiges.  Cool grays and stark whites. Instead, choose warmer, creamy whites or softer, nuanced shades.  High-contrast designs. Instead, opt for softer, more inviting colours that create a cohesive and harmonious space.  Neon pinks, electric blues, and vivid yellows. Instead, choose softer pastels or earthy, muted tones.  The "Barbiecore" trend with bright and playful colours. Instead, opt for softer, more natural shades. “ And our key 2026 “resolution” would be to embrace the Pantone colour of the year - Cloud Dancer.  Pantone’s Colour of the Year is described as “a breath of calm in a noisy world” - the next picture is the promotion with the “clouds” and person “dancing.”  This colour in photoshop is hex code #F0EEE9 - it says it has “subtle yellow undertones.” “In 2026, expect to see a mix of vibrant colours like "Cloud Dancer" white, rich teal, canary yellow, and candy pink dominating fashion and design trends.”   Here’s an example of how it is going to play out: “Motorola brings calm to your pocket The motorola edge 70 is being reimagined in Cloud Dancer, with a quilted vegan leather finish, Swarovski crystal detailing, and what Pantone calls “serenity in your pocket.” The aim is to merge luxury aesthetics with tactile calmness, giving smartphones a softer emotional appeal.” Are my clouds too moody?  Too much gray and not enough yellow?  I’ll have to go into photoshop and check them out with the calibration tool.
