India, Nov. 26 -- Colour trends often reflect broader shifts in consumer behaviour, and the latest forecast for 2026 is no exception. WGSN and Coloro have named Transformative Teal, a rich blend of deep blue and aquatic green, the Colour of the Year. According to the organisations, this shade reflects a growing focus on resilience, renewal, and environmentally responsible choices, positioning it as a response to questions around climate, industrial practices, and the relationship between communities and the natural world. The choice is backed by data as well: Google Trends shows a 9% increase in searches related to teal, alongside a broader uptick in interest in blue and green tones. WGSN predicts that 2026 will be a year defined by redirection, with consumers increasingly demanding ecological accountability from brands. This shift is evident not only in purchasing behaviour but also in the colours people gravitate toward across design and product categories. WGSN and Coloro have been setting the tone for colour trends for years, from Digital Lavender in 2023 to Apricot Crush in 2024 and Future Dusk in 2025. Transformative Teal continues this trajectory, representing calm, grounded tones inspired by nature, while signalling a thoughtful, sustainable approach for the year ahead. HTC...
