COLOR OF THE YEAR 2023
digital lavender
Robertet is no stranger when it comes to Lavender so we are happy to read that, according to consumer research company WGSN, a shade called Digital Lavender will rule 2023.
Not only does the essential oil promote a sense of calmness and tranquility, but research suggests that purple has a shorter wavelength which often promotes a sense of calmness and balance but this specific pastel shade has been on the rise since the Spring/Summer fashion collections. And, if WGSN and Color's data is any indication, Digital Lavender is expected to become even more popular.
