From butter yellow to cherry red: Meet the 2025 Pinterest Palette

The colours of tomorrow, today.

Every year, we release Pinterest Predicts—our annual not-yet-trending report spotlighting 20 trends we predict to be really big in the year ahead. And today, we’re taking it a step further, turning those insights into a custom colour lineup inspired by our 2025 trends, setting the tone (and the hues) for the year ahead.

Say hello to Cherry Red, Butter Yellow, Aura Indigo, Dill Green and Alpine Oat. 

“The Pinterest Palette is inspired entirely by Pinners—what they’re searching, saving and shopping for on our platform. But it’s made for creatives like you,” said Xanthe Wells, VP of Global Creative at Pinterest. “Use the palette to inspire your mood boards, your shot lists, your merchandising assortments—even your product development ideas. We can’t wait to see how our colours inspire your marketing in 2025.”

Wondering how this year's colours made the cut? Let’s dive in.

Predicting tomorrow’s palette

We start with what we do best: using our data-backed trendspotting methodology and cutting-edge visual search technology to spot what will be really big in the year ahead in our annual Pinterest Predicts 2025 trend report. From there, we zeroed in on search terms sparking colourful conversations—think “cherry red fashion” and “soft yellow aesthetics.” Then, we mapped the emerging trends and colour clusters against first-party platform data. Looking at actions like saves, we were able to see which colours were driving engagement over time.  The result? Five trend-driven colours ready to take over Pinterest—and culture at large.

Meet the colours shaping 2025

From pickle-perfect greens to soft yellow daydreams, these five colours are designed to inspire everything from bold beauty looks to standout decor. Whether you’re reimagining your brand’s palette or refreshing your personal projects, these trend-driven hues are calling the shots this year.

Cherry Red

2025 just went full cherry mode. Inspired by the trend Cherry Coded, this bold hue is here to make a statement. Nail it, wear it, or deck your space in it. It’s the ultimate cherry on top.

Butter Yellow

A pinch of playful, a dollop of whimsy. Inspired by trends like Dolled Up, Fisherman Aesthetic and Surreal Soirees, this soft pastel yellow brings warmth to every corner.

Aura Indigo

Lilac, but with an edge. This moody tone pulls inspiration from trends like Sea Witchery and Aura Beauty. It’s perfect for cosmic-inspired beauty looks and otherworldly home and fashion designs.

Dill Green

Pickled perfection in a colour. Born from trends like Pickle Fix and Terra Futura, this tangy take on green is shaking up kitchens, wardrobes and cocktails that are too cool to sip.

Alpine Oat

Your new neutral. Channeling trends like Peak Travel and Moto Boho, this cozy-chic colour is all about layered textures—and that perfectly poured latte moment.
