The Pantone Color of the Year is always a significant event in the design world, influencing trends across home décor, fashion, and various design industries.  

For 2025, one of Pantone's predicted Colors of the Year is Future Dusk, a rich and immersive colour that merges deep violet and midnight blue. It symbolises the blending of reality and fantasy, making it a versatile choice for various applications in interior design. This hue evokes a sense of mystery and depth, perfect for creating dramatic and sophisticated spaces. 

The popularity of Future Dusk is influenced by the growing trend of seeking escapism in design. As people look for ways to create personal sanctuaries in their homes, this colour provides a transformative quality that can turn any room into a serene retreat.
