The Biggest Colour Trends of 2021

5 Colours You'll Love in 2021 — For Dresses, Decor, and Everything in Between

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

Colour has the ability to change our mood, and make us feel happy, sad, and everything in between. It's a brand new year, and although it may feel like not much has changed, we've got a bit more perspective, a bit more knowledge, and a bit more optimism this time around. This year, we're all about colour. To give some context, this editor lives in a house that is almost exclusively decorated in neutral shades of white and tan, and who's own wardrobe can be narrowed down to black, white, and navy blue. So if I'm ready for colour, I have a sense that you may be too.

There are five big trends we're seeing for 2021, and many of them give off a sherbet-like vibe. They're not quite pastels, nor are they dark and moody. They're sophisticated and layered while still feeling whimsical and modern. This year, outfit your home, your wardrobe, and everything in between in these five shades. Just scrolling and shopping will put a little extra pep in your step.

Mid-Toned Blue — Sleeper Cornflower Party Pajama Set

So, we're calling this next category mid-toned blue because there are subtleties here that are worth discussing. It's not a royal or navy blue, and it's not a powdery baby blue. It's somewhere in the middle. It has texture, it's statement-making, and it's so beautiful. This Sleeper Cornflower Party Pajama Set ($320) fits the bill perfectly.
