Introducing the Pinterest Palette: A custom color 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 color palette inspired by these emerging trends.
The best part: We’ll refresh this color palette each year, on the heels of our annual trend report launch. Take advantage of our trending colors to inform your creative assets, your product assortments and your seasonal color 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 color (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 color trends. We combined these learnings to choose five colors that we predict will be huge this year—both on Pinterest and beyond.
