Lavender is a trend colour for fashion right now. Inspired by an orange wall and the light play of a silver car cover I created this moodboard for active sports as running, cycling or fitness.

For these active bright colours I work with the PANTONE* Fashion and Home Nylon Brights, nylon fabric swatches in neon colours.

There are many possibilities to combine these colours – each combination has a different effect, can look playful, vibrant or almost elegant.

ORANGE & LAVENDER

Orange is a positive and highly energetic colour without any aggressive effect – it`s connecting people,  and stands for joy and fun. In autumn the earthy tones of it look spicy and warm. It serves as colour for safety and warning as well.

Purple tones offer many variations. The red ones are more active, dynamic and sensual. The cooler ones with more blue inside express dignity. Generally purple and lavender tones express a kind of mysticism but can also have a nostalgic approach.
Lavender connects virtual and physical worlds. One reason why WGSN dedicated DIGITAL LAVENDER as colour of the year 2023.

Have a look how the colour combination of orange and lavender tones can be used for activewear and prints as well: as one of six design studios I contributed with  my colour story  and moodboards “Equality of space” to the
