Colors Fall Winter 2026
Chromatically, the Fall-Winter 2026 season in footwear and manufactured goods is defined by a transition toward stability and understated luxury, with a palette that balances nature and technology.
Among the leading colors are hot and truffle chocolate browns, which consolidate as the “new blacks.” These deep, intense tones will dominate, providing sophisticated and versatile warmth.
The beige range is enriched with Mocha Mousse, a medium, creamy brown that conveys stability and authenticity.
Another key color is Teal, selected by WGSN as color of the year. A dark blue-green tone that reflects an “Earth-first” aesthetic and represents an ideal option for those seeking color without losing elegance.
They are followed by deep reds, such as Merlot, a brown-based red that is sophisticated and timeless. Within this direction, Cherry Red evolves toward darker tones such as wine and burgundy, especially in polished leather and patent finishes.
Among the elevated neutrals, cream, steel grey and Wax Paper, a parchment-like white, stand out, offering minimalist alternatives for clean, pure-lined designs.
The trend also incorporates Olive Green and Midnight Blue, complemented by subtle metallic highlights and the return of new animal prints in hair-on textures.
Other proposed alternatives include Poppy Red, a festive and sensual red; Misty Rose, a delicate and romantic pink; Salted Lime, a yellowish green; Lyons Blue, a luxurious petrol blue; Riverside, another cool and powerful blue; and Fig, a dark blue fig tone with a hint of red.
Overall, the season prioritizes colors that convey durability and a connection with the environment, moving away from the vibrant tones of previous years.
