24 Jan Q4/24: Color Quarterly RCP

CSI has established itself as a leader in managing seasonal color palettes for a remarkable assortment of over 140 prominent brands and retailers. For more than 20 years, fashion and product designers have placed their trust in CSI’s expertly curated colors to guide their selections for both seasonal and core palettes. Understanding the significance of color in design, CSI provides a Color Quarterly report, a vital tool that delivers in-depth insights into prevailing color trends and offers validation for the choices designers make.

One of the keys to staying ahead in the fast-paced world of fashion is reviewing past color selections. This reflective practice allows designers to dissect what has resonated with consumers and what strategies have faltered amidst the continually shifting landscape. In preparing the Color Quarterly report, CSI conducted a meticulous analysis of data derived from the top ColorWall colors chosen by brands and retailers for their seasonal collections over the last quarter.

Employing our proprietary Relative Color Popularity process, CSI has crafted mood boards that showcase the colors most celebrated during that timeframe. The colors presented in the Q4 report are intricately connected to the anticipated palettes for the Fall/Winter 2025 and Spring/Summer 2026 seasons, encompassing rich, warm tones and fresh, lively shades that reflect the essence of these transitional periods.

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.
