The thick and neutral Grape Wine exudes a sexy and romantic scent. Such low-brightness purple creates an understated premium texture like aged wine. The application on knitwear pays more attention to fluent lines and detail processes.

The constant exploration of inner mind and nature and the strengthened awareness about environmental protection allow colors to promote and express emotions. Driven by this factor, the color application of new business knitwear has been more positive. Cross-seasonal and highly inclusive color properties are the key points. Earthy color tone is softer in this season, which focuses on creating a comfortable feel. Red colors maintain the vitality and show more steadiness. Blue & green colors present a more peaceful individuality. As the bright color of the whole palette, yellow can better improve the mood.

The color trend of the last season was driven by the restrained business leisure style, which presented knitwear with inclusive and low-saturation colors. However, the style in this new season pays more attention to the expression of joyous emotions. Baby Blue updates the Mountain Spring in the past. Pastel white is integrated into the graceful blue color tone to exude a positive yet minimalist business style. Geometric cutting and texture put emphasis on the modern expression of minimalism and nature, which accentuates more inclusive and delicate urban commuting looks.

Having experienced the unstable society, emotional young consumers are pursuing security in the face of uncertain future. Connecting with the outside, they convey emotions and improve joyfulness. Therefore, color plays an important role in enhancing security and encouraging power. The colors which can help young generation to metamorphose are more attractive. These young people prefer personal favour to traditional classics. The palette of A/W 22/23 leisure knitwear is more variable and flexible. Outdoor exploration has become the main entertainment, and comfortable natural colors present the plain charm.

Classic knitwear uses practical neutral colors and unique joyous colors to present strong commercial attraction in A/W 22/23, which is also outstanding among kids' knitwear. Vigorous Burnt Coral takes the place of traditional festive red. Fresh and bright Delphinium Blue perfectly balances the impact of S/S colors. Warm and gentle Pale Banana is more suitable for transition clothes. More organic Dark Ivy and Amber Brown inject more positive emotion into the winter days.

Influenced by the uneasy factors and slowdown fashion pace, land tone has become a long-lasting important color. Radiant Yellow, Molten Lava and Delphinium Blue provide neutral hues. Golden Yellow adds warm texture, and Deep Teal is understated and steady. The whole palette has a more intensive joyous emotion than the past seasons. This color combination with freshness and familiar feel becomes the new trend. More expressive color is the key.

Apricot Gelato is selected from the theme Sunlit City. The warm and gentle interlace sunlight releases the life and mental space which the urban city is longing for. The urban commuting style is presented through minimalist and New Scandi color tones led by positive psychology and optimistic awareness. The changing density of knitting is the main method to present the interlace light and shade effect on women's knitwear. The hollow-out textured pattern and transparent silk are used to create the transparent effect. With the help of more fitted silhouette, it can redefine the strong and independent image of modern urban women.

In 2022, we pay more attention to the color tone which can reflect people's inner world. This tone should be bright and hopeful, virtual but real. We predict that Chateau Rose will be an important color tone of young lady style in the future. This color release the pressure given by Virtual Pink and increase the brightness of Pink. Its conspicuous color brings a fantastic atmosphere to young lady style while this tone is also echoing the confidence, vitality, desire and romance which spread by new-era women.

Suffering from this global pandemic, political turmoil, economic recession and environmental issues, people embrace a restrained consumption view and become more sensible about clothes. Practicality, sustainability and adaptability are key considerations in this post-coronavirus era. Under this backdrop, men's knitwear delivers a new business style which is more inclusive, lowly saturated and multi-scene. It shows the seriousness of business, but reveals a plain natural feel via soft colors. Fine stitch changes display original natural textures, and details of line and plane present the restrained modern fashion.

Collective trauma, looser relationship between people, and escapism stand out in the post-coronavirus era, so we need new emotional sustenance and boost our moods. Online life becomes a weapon against challenges and depression in reality. Demand for an indigenous cultural lifestyle is on the rise. People worship heroism and dedication more, thus safer, more practical and more direct objects are favored.

The world keeps changing. In A/W 21/22, people long for a sense of safety and belonging. This season calm, comfortable and practical colors are dominant. Soft Pale Blush, classic English Manor, versatile Coconut White are ideal for autumn and winter. Lively Samoan Sun and bright Ski Patrol decorate these dull seasons.

Samoan Sun is one of key colors mentioned in Protogenesis -- The Color Trend for The Mature Lady Style Knitwear. The seasonality of colors is blurred, and Samoan Sun becomes an important color for transition. It displays the passionate, positive and optimistic Samoa. Samoa is a tropical island country in the southern Pacific Ocean. With many folk myths and legends, it originally believed in witchcraft and worshiped leaders. The unique pattern and color of its totem inspire women's knitwear. Colonial rule changed its national belief, and this special backdrop adds tensile vitality into the bright yellow. On 29 December 2011, Samoa adjusted its time zone from UTC/GMT-12:00 to UTC/GMT+12:00 (from West Zone 12 to East Zone 12), from being the last country to see the sun to the first to see the sun. Samoan Sun represents a new beginning, making folk colors more elegant and exquisite. Fine stitches and simple details are key to its application.

Exuberance is a key color from the report, Remodeling -- The Color Trend for Men's Knitwear. The report emphasizes the new relationship between sustainable development and natural ecology and searches for a solution to re-creating cognition. Exuberance is a warm, passionate and lavish orange, leading people to develop an optimistic attitude in this unstable environment. Orange in high saturation is mainly applied to fashion leisure knitwear, with vigorous colors to bring warm power.

Due to the impact of ecological damage and global climate change, simplicity becomes the key. Pure and natural simple fashion is advocated. Bombay Brown, one key color mentioned in Protogenesis -- The Color Trend for The Mature Lady Style Knitwear, displays the original colors of nature. Mumbai is one of the tropical monsoon climate areas affected by the monsoon, where dry season and rainy season are distinct. Bombay brown is a natural of color from the bursting magma. Primitive wild beauty is casual and free, revealing an elegant feel. Fluctuating landscape inspires concave-convex stitches. Granular texture provides possibilities for yarns, and helps with color proportion of simple & sophisticated style.

Climate change is changing the rules of the planet, which drives us to notice the microworld and explore the dreams of plants. The most primitive alga expresses the most rebellious ideas of plants. The world today seems to be breaking down and being reorganized. The grass-root class comes together for changes that institutions or governments cannot make, and we are beginning to explore the revival of localism in this globalized world and its significance for the future.

The ecological damage and global climate change have an increasing devastating impact. Currently, simple and smart life concept is a must. The original state advocates comfort and beauty of a simplified life. The laissez-faire liberalism is replaced by the refined restrictionism. This trend influences the color evolution of the simple & sophisticated style, and natural original colors are prevailing.

Oil paintings of Marc Chagall have bright and gorgeous colors, and bring a surreal dreamlike charm. Chagall draws inspirations from the plain images in nature, and subjects are mainly about lovers, romances, and Jewish legends. Chagall integrates love into the paintings. Different colors represent different good meanings, which is blended with the rhythmic textures of oil painting. This also inspires the development of knitwear colors. In view of trend and data analysis, we select four representative colors, "the flowing blue pigment" displays the neat cutting; "Baltic" has the crystal blue-green, quite inclusive; positive and optimistic "limelight" shows a ladylike temperament; "exuberance" renews the tones of commute clothing. (The inverted body in Marc Chagall's painting is deeply moving. The figure will turn yellow or green after praying for a long time, so Chagall's yellow and green represent sincerity.)

As the world is getting more and more digitized, synthetic colors will be more and more popular. And at the same time, we witness the growth of natural colors, that people want to escape from science and technology with the growing awareness of environmental protection. Colors of simple knitwear are inspired by the nature and explore natural dyestuff. The concept of summer colors and winter colors in knitwear industry weakens gradually to make items versatile and to prolong the usable life of items. So emphasizing natural cross-season colors becomes increasingly important.
