   COLOR TRENDS FOR FALL/WINTER 2015/16   

Prime
ISPO Textrend’s core color palette incorporating the bestselling activewear tones shifts slightly sharper up the color spectrum for the season. Black, winter sun and alpine blue sit alongside blazing orange and fir cone brown. The core tones can be used bright for a modern application or taken down for an aged aspect. The season’s new complimenting satellite color palettes take inspiration from both natural sources and the man-made world, offering and creating a harmonious connection for the activewear sector.

Hyper
Brilliant and bold synthetic tones feature, in matte surfaces or taken to new lustrous levels through high gloss finishes. Neon accents also surface complimenting this energetic and charged option. Artificial lucidity takes this palette to a new level.

Mineral Matrix
A combination of minerals through to metallics in classic natural and synthetic tones inspires. From the unique lustre of titanium through to colored metallics that gleam against the raw beauty of black onyx.

Weathered
From wind swept heather, kelp green to rose hip pink and rugged rock, a winter wonderland inspires this natural-based nuance.

Phantom
Pastel tones take up a new look with artificial light filtering through as sepia-style and butterscotch tones inspired from the sky of Mars and powdery tints create a new modern direction through light diffraction.
