colour & pattern trends by nerida hansen print & textiles
WECOME
Welcome to my colour guide for 2019. Inside this guide, you will find a lovlingly curated collection of colours, patterns and images relating to the pantone trends that will be most visible in 2019. Colour has become one of the most important elements of commercial design. It allows the designer complete freedom to express their unique artworks; by simply adding the right colours, the most original illustrations and patterns instantly become fashionable. As head of a busy surface art agency selling prints and patterns to companies all over the world, it is extremely important for me to develop pattern ranges that are true to the seasons colours. I invite you to see how designers at Nerida Hansenn Print and Textiles, as well as other admired designers from around the world, have gone about interpreting the 2019 pantone themes. With so many transeasonal highlights, this guide will ensure you can make savvy colour choices for your designs from the Northern Hemisphere winter months of 2018/19, through the Summer 2019, and on to to the following winter 2019/20. For designers in the Southern Hemisphere, you are even more ahead of your time. Happy Viewing! Nerida

WISTFUL Pantone’ s Wistful theme is where gentle colours glow in the company of taupe and khaki shadows. If you are a pastel-addict like me, this colour theme will excite you, and you will be pleased to know it carries great weight across several seasons to come. Soft hues such as Pantone’s Cloud Dancer, Pastel Parchment and Xenon Blue force a feminine hand. But softness is not always the only option, as contrast colours of Crocodile and Brilliant White create a stark monochromatic look for summer fashion. At Nerida Hansen Print & Pattern Agency we dedicate this colour theme largely to our love of nature, with pretty florals and natural themes dictating our pattern design. 4
