🏆 Pantone 2026: Cyber Lime

Jumping away from Mocha Mousse's calm vibe. Fluorescent lime brings energy back. Read as AI-era optimism.

Around #A6E22E saturation. Great as an accent, overwhelming at scale.

🌊 5 Big Trends

① High Saturation

The 2024-25 pastel mood is over. 80%+ saturation returns. Neons, fluorescents, vivids.

② Earth Tones Persist

Ochre, olive, terracotta still going strong. The nature-friendly trend isn't slowing.

③ Digital Metals

Chrome, silver, metallic gradients. Apple Vision Pro pushed metallic UI textures into focus.

④ Exceeded Pink

Post-Barbiecore pink. Deeper, more psychedelic magenta and fuchsia.

⑤ Dark Mode Colors

Deep navy and charcoal as the standard dark background. Depth instead of black.
