WGSN, the world’s leading consumer trend forecaster, and Coloro, the leader in color excellence, recently presented the 2028 Color of the Year—Radiant Earth.
“In a world that often feels chaotic, we're seeing a shift toward emotions like resilience and flourishing,” said Stephanie Barnscher, senior color forecaster at WGSN. “Radiant Earth perfectly anchors this emotional mindset, offering a grounded, reliable neutral that fosters deep-seated trust. For brands, this color helps to create products and environments that feel both reassuringly nostalgic and confidently future-ready.”
Against a backdrop of prolonged global disruption, Radiant Earth emerges as a pivotal hue, encouraging a decisive shift away from fleeting emotions toward enduring stability. In doing so, it offers reassurance and paves a resolute path forward.
