Trend forecasting platform WGSN and colour trend forecasting platform Coloro have unveiled Luminous Blue as the 2027 colour of the year.

The defining trend for 2027 is interconnectedness. There will be more connections between the polarities of lightness and darkness, nature and technology, the ancient and contemporary, the rational and spiritual, and the online versus the offline.

Luminous Blue bridges the past, present and future, embracing traditional craft and dyeing techniques and connecting people through transmitting knowledge and skills. As human and machine intelligence converge, progress will hinge on a deeper, more critical understanding of AI and its implications.

Balancing the wisdom of humanity with the speed and precision of tech and innovation will be crucial.
