Eight Palettes that we can see trending in 2018 are :
Resourceful: A palette made up of complementary blue and orange colors. “This is quite an interesting color combination,” said Leatrice Eiseman,Executive director of Pantone Color Institute. “It combines warm and cool tones that you just can’t avoid looking at.”

Moving over from pastels to intense color will be a standout trend we can see this year.This palette is about mixing bright colors together to create a strong look.Try textures and patterns to layer the look with a bit of neutrals to ground the look.
Verdure: Vegetal colors like Celery are combined with berry-infused purples and eggshell blue, symbolic of health, in this palette.

Playful: Add something special to your room by incorporating "Playful" color palette.Think "Minions." Bright yellow, lime popsicle, Green flash and blue skydiver come together for this color scheme. "People need to stop and smile," said Eiseman.

Discretion: Playful's alter ego. Subtle hues such as Elderberry and Hawthorne Rose offer a new sense of strength. "Pink has developed more power than ever before," said Eiseman.

Intensity: This is an eclectic mix of colors that evokes a sense of strength, power and sophistication, all balanced with black and gold. Drama, Drama, Drama !! The intensity is everything and more, using deep, bold colors to create a palette to be considered. The classic colors, such as blue and plum, blend in orange, deep red and gold for a “certain strength, depth and complexity.”

TECH-nique: Bright turquoise, pink and purple colors anchored with Brilliant White and Frosted Almond nod to technology. This palette is all about hues "that seem to shine from within," said Eiseman.
