Introducing the Pinterest Palette: A custom colour set to inspire your creative
February 15, 2024
Introducing: The Pinterest Palette
Gummy Pink. Moss Green. Mocha Brown. For the first time ever, Pinterest is releasing an annual color palette—inspired by our platform’s 2024 trends.
Each year, we publish Pinterest Predicts, a roundup of 20+ up and coming trend predictions pulled from platform data. And this year, we curated a custom colour palette inspired by these emerging trends.
The best part: We’ll refresh this colour palette each year, on the heels of our annual trend report launch. Take advantage of our trending colours to inform your creative assets, your product assortments and your seasonal colour palettes.
The process behind the palette
So… how did we do it? First and foremost: With our trend predictions. Our internal creative team, Pinterest’s House of Creative, analyzed the trends from Pinterest Predicts 2024 and distilled the search terms specifically related to colour (i.e. “blue jellyfish,” “blue chrome nails,” “aqua makeup looks.”)1 We then pulled out the most persistent hues from the trending keywords.
But we didn’t stop there. The team also did a deep dive into the cultural zeitgeist, digging into the worlds of fashion, interior design, graphic design and the culture at large to compare Pinterest’s data to the macro industry colour trends. We combined these learnings to choose five colours that we predict will be huge this year—both on Pinterest and beyond.
