11 Apr Q1/25: Color Quarterly RCP
CSI has established itself as a prominent leader in managing seasonal color palettes for over 140 distinguished brands and retailers. For over two decades, fashion and product designers have relied on CSI’s meticulously curated color selections to inform their decisions regarding seasonal and core palettes. Acknowledging the crucial role of color in design, CSI offers the Color Quarterly report. This indispensable resource provides comprehensive insights into current color trends and validates the selections made by designers.
A fundamental aspect of remaining competitive in the dynamic fashion industry is the review of past color selections. This reflective practice allows designers to critically evaluate what has resonated with consumers and to discern strategies that may not have succeeded within the ever-evolving market landscape. In the preparation of the Color Quarterly report, CSI undertook a rigorous analysis of data sourced from the most popular ColorWall colors selected by brands and retailers for their seasonal collections during the previous quarter.
By employing our proprietary Relative Color Popularity process, we have developed mood boards highlighting the most favored colors during the specified timeframe. The colors featured in the Q1 report are intricately associated with the anticipated palettes for the Fall/Winter 2025/26 and Spring/Summer 2026 seasons.
Aside from the popular Seasonal colors, the colors below from Q4 are a part of our Top Selling or Timeless Color reports and are popular across all seasons and palettes. To find out more about these, check out our Color Reports section.
