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

The colors 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 color 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 colors inspire your marketing in 2025.”

Wondering how this year's colors 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 colorful conversations—think “cherry red fashion” and “soft yellow aesthetics.” Then, we mapped the emerging trends and color clusters against first-party platform data. Looking at actions like saves, we were able to see which colors were driving engagement over time.  The result? Five trend-driven colors ready to take over Pinterest—and culture at large.

Pickled perfection in a color. 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.
