The Colors Defining Spring/Summer 2026 🌿✨

Inspired by WGSN, Interpreted by Meri Lou Jewelry

As we step into Spring/Summer 2026, the world is in motion. According to WGSN’s Coloro programme, this season will be marked by reorientation a demand for change in how societies, industries, and even the environment are managed. Outdated ideas are giving way to fresh perspectives, and this is reflected in a palette of bold brights, unusual earth tones, and soothing pastels.

At Meri Lou Jewelry, color has always been more than an aesthetic choice it’s a symbol, a story, and an emotional compass. Here are the five key colors shaping the season, and how they speak to us:

⸻

Transformative Teal

A fluid blend of blue and green, Transformative Teal embodies nature’s resilience and a “planet first” mindset. It reflects our values of ecological responsibility and the balance between organic and post-natural forms. In jewelry, we see this shade in stones that shift with the light, echoing the beauty of water and the urgency of sustainability.

⸻

Electric Fuchsia

Between pink and purple lies the rebellious brilliance of Electric Fuchsia. It’s playful, provocative, and futuristic a response to both social inequality and the rise of artificial intelligence. For us, it feels like a gemstone glowing with energy, a bold accent in a world craving levity and escape.

⸻

Blue Aura

Soft yet powerful, Blue Aura is a blue-grey pastel with a serene, almost healing quality. Inspired by light and shadow, this shade suggests inclusivity and fluidity beyond gender or season. In jewelry design, we imagine it as luminous diamonds and misty enamel finishes pieces that blur boundaries and embrace universality.

⸻

Amber Haze

A rich yellow with earthy undertones, Amber Haze is a reminder to slow down and reconnect with ancient wisdom. Like sunlit stones and aged crystals, it speaks of endurance, longevity, and spirituality. In our creations, this tone inspires golden warmth jewelry that feels timeless and grounding amidst a digitized world.

⸻

Jelly Mint

Playful yet profound, Jelly Mint brings a spark of nostalgia and joy. Once seen as childish, the aesthetic of cuteness has become one of the most powerful cultural forces. This minty pastel embodies resilience through optimism just as a jewel can transform the everyday with a glimmer of delight.

⸻

A Palette of Transformation

Spring/Summer 2026 is not just about color it’s about redefining the way we see the world. Each shade carries meaning: resilience, rebellion, serenity, spirituality, and joy. At Meri Lou Jewelry, we are inspired to reflect these tones through gemstones, enamel, and gold, creating timeless pieces that resonate with the moment while carrying stories that last forever.
