The Pantone Color Institute is a leader in the world of color, and during NYFW, this is no exception. As fashion hits the runway, color is one of the things that stands out most and influences not just clothing and accessories but home decor, event decor, and floral design. Whether you’re planning a chic wedding, a lively garden party, or a modern corporate event, these runway-inspired hues are about to make a major splash in floral design and event decor. Flora D’ Amore is sharing what you can look forward to and feel inspired by based on Pantone’s NYFW and SS25 Color Palettes.
Nature Meets Technology
Pantone’s SS25 color trend forecast heavily emphasizes the harmonious connection between nature and technology—specifically, floral and fauna and Generative AI. This balance is truly a delicate one. With shades of various greens, blues, oranges, and purples, we also see shades of white, black, and silver. Diving into the NYFW report, we see something a little different. While drawing from nature through soft greens and blues is consistent here, these shades are paired with more seasonal, classic, and luxurious neutral tones that “bring comfort and ease.”
Cool Pastels
A perfect pastel palette for a spring or summer soiree, this colorway includes Bran, Crocus, Lime Cream, Limpet Shell, and White Grape. The combination of hues feels light and whimsical, like an ethereal garden party with sheer, billowy linens. Fresh blooms, like soft purple roses and pink peonies, and hardy stems, like blue succulents and eucalyptus, bring this palette to life.
Primary Vintage
With a hint of nostalgia, this color palette evokes a retro, earthy, boho feel with festive warmth. Featuring Deja Vu Blue, Kashmir, Misted Marigold, Orangeade, and Cocoon, it’s a colorway that calls for dahlias in warm jewel tones, purple succulents, vibrant greenery, and pops of natural beiges — whether from pampas grass or soft fabrics that sway in the breeze.

Cozy Edge
This color palette pulls in those familiar, “comfortable,” rich, and moody neutral hues. It includes Eclipse, Antique White, Rum Raisin, Moonbeam, and Blue Granite — think minimalist wedding or soft and chic candlelit dinner. With an abundance of ivory and cream roses, pampas grass, blue thistle, and chocolate accents, it’s a luxurious and inviting colorway balancing sophistication and laid-back comfort.
Cool Industrial
Sleek, minimal, contemporary, and modern, the hues in this palette include Timber Wolf, Sirocco, Timber Green, Outer Space, and Manatee. Blue and white blooms are apartment, but dusty miller, dark greenery, and silver accents arranged in concrete vases are ideal for modern events with an edgy twist. Imagine an old gallery or industrial loft with tall ceilings and metal accents. This colorway is all about keeping things sleek and ultra-modern.
Grounded Nature
As Grandpa Chic enters the chat, the color palette of Shingle Fawn, Eggplant, and Green Pea can be described as earthy, grounded, rich, natural, and luxurious. Whether you’re high adventure or highly chic, it’s a sophisticated combo. Incorporate blooms like crimson roses, red dahlias, and proteas surrounded by incredible, deep, lush greenery. Add moss, wooden textures, brass vases, or leather accents to the decor for a cozy space that feels deeply connected to nature.
Bold Celebration
For those who are bold and bright, consider shimmering vibrant hues like Flirt, Punch, Burnt Sienna, Deep Sea Green, Midnight Blue, and Denim. This colorway brings a fun, brilliant look at nature — from birds to plants! Think of a tropical-inspired event with anthuriums, gerbera daisies, orchids, birds of paradise, proteas, and greenery. The more textures and metallics to complement the high-energy and joyful color palette, the better.
Eclectic Whimsy
If light, airy, colorful pastels draw you in, you’ll love the Fern, New York Pink, Sinbad, and Sahara Sand colorway. Stunning for spring and summer, it’s equal parts quirky, eclectic, and modern. Make an iconic statement through whimsical florals like yellow ranunculus and craspedia billy balls, pink peonies and anthuriums, powder blue delphinium and hydrangeas, and effortlessly fresh greenery.
Whether you lean more into the serene, nature-inspired blues and greens or go bold with futuristic brights and metallics, Flora D’ Amore is ready to bring these trending hues to life.
