The Color of 2027 Is “Luminous Blue” | 5 Key Colors for Spring/Summer

The colors of clothing, interiors, and everyday goods are not decided by chance each season. There are color forecasts used as design references by companies around the world, and one representative example is the “Color of the Year” announced jointly by trend forecasting company WGSN and color system Coloro. The color chosen for 2027 was “Luminous Blue.”

A Deep, Clear Blue

Luminous Blue (Coloro code 125-28-38) is a deep blue reminiscent of lapis lazuli. In the announcement, it was described as a color that is mystical yet a little unconventional, and versatile enough for everything from formal wear to sportswear. It was also said to relate to the color of cobalt, a material used in batteries that support the energy transition.

The Theme Is “Connection”

As a keyword looking toward 2027, WGSN points to “connection” between paired ideas such as light and darkness, nature and technology, old and new, and online and offline. Blue, combining mystery with approachability, was chosen as a color that symbolizes this theme.

If you want to add one color to clothes you already own, start with accessories or a scarf. For the previous year’s color, see The Color of 2026 Was White, and for the Spring/Summer 2027 runways, see What Milan and Paris Showed introduced here.
