28 Exclusive Colours for Kidswear and Lifestyle Products
The forecast presents 28 carefully selected shades developed exclusively for Color Essence. Precise colour formulations support a reliable progression through concept development, sourcing, sampling and production.
Moodboards establish the visual and emotional context of each direction. Colour-combination proposals show how the palette can support soft neutrals, reassuring mid-tones, playful accents and expressive seasonal contrasts.
The colours are relevant to childrenswear, babywear, accessories, toys, stationery, prints, patterns, home textiles and kids’ decoration. This cross-category scope helps brands create coherent product families and colour stories.
Physical Swatches for Accurate Creative Development
Every moodboard includes an original Color Essence swatch. Each colour is also supplied as a large 10 x 10 cm cotton sample, providing a generous surface for evaluating hue, depth and interaction with materials and light.
The tactile references support studio work, textile selection, print and pattern development, supplier communication and colour approval. Designers can compare shades directly with fabrics, yarns, coatings, trims, papers and decorative surfaces before sampling.
Digital Colour Data for Connected Workflows
The print edition includes 24/7 access to the Color Essence platform. QTX, LAB and RGB values can be downloaded for every colour and integrated into digital design, presentations and colour-management processes.
Shared digital references help international teams coordinate design, merchandising, sourcing and manufacturing. The physical samples preserve material accuracy, while online access supports flexible collaboration.
