This year’s colours
The palette leading activewear this season — from Pantone’s Cloud Dancer white to WGSN’s Transformative Teal, grounded earth tones and statement brights. Every shade is a live production colour, shown on real garments.
WGSN's 2026 Colour of the Year — a grounded blue-green for a season of change.
What buyers need to know
This season’s palette, framed by what we can actually dye.
A working colour guide for activewear brands: the 2026 trend direction — anchored by Pantone Cloud Dancer and WGSN Transformative Teal — shown on real garments, then cross-checked against the colours we can actually dye, Pantone-match and repeat in bulk.
Production-ready, not a mood board
Every colour here is one we can dye consistently and repeat — from an established recipe or a lab-dipped custom match. Trend is the starting point; dye-lot minimums, fastness and repeatability decide what actually ships.
Matched to your Pantone reference
Custom colours are lab-dipped against your Pantone reference and approved on physical dips before bulk. Wash, rub and perspiration fastness are tested on the real fabric.
How colour approval works 03Colour that holds across a set
A colourway has to match across bra, legging and top — same dye-lot logic, one approval standard, so the pieces match in the box.
Private label route 04When a trend colour is worth running
Only when it is production-safe: dyeable consistently, holds fastness, fits the dye-lot minimum. We treat trend input as one factor on top of production reality — not a forecast to chase.
What colour input is worthIn-production colour library / 250 shades
Colours we already dye and repeat.
Every shade below is a real, named colour from our development catalogue, each with an established dye recipe. Starting from one of these is faster and lower-risk than a fully custom match — and any can be re-matched to your Pantone reference for a custom program.

01What activewear colours are trending for 2026?
The 2026 direction pairs soft neutrals with grounded earth tones and a few statement brights. Pantone named Cloud Dancer, a soft white, its 2026 Colour of the Year; WGSN selected Transformative Teal. Alongside these, mocha, olive, espresso and cocoa lead the earth-tone core, with cobalt and fuchsia as confident accents. Every colour shown on this page is one we can dye and produce in bulk — not a forecast.
02Can you match a custom Pantone colour for my brand?
Yes. Custom colours are matched to your Pantone reference through lab dips before bulk. You approve the physical dip against your reference under controlled light, and colour fastness — wash, rub and perspiration — is tested on the actual fabric before bulk is approved.
03What is the minimum order for a custom activewear colour?
Stock programs start at 100 pieces per style. A fully custom dyed colour typically starts from 300 to 500 pieces per style, per colour, because the dye house needs a minimum dye-lot for consistent, repeatable results.
04How many activewear colours can you already produce?
Our in-production library spans around 250 named colours with established dye recipes across the catalogue — from core neutrals like black, white and navy to seasonal tones like burgundy, sage, olive and teal. Starting from an existing recipe is faster, cheaper and lower-risk than a brand-new custom dye.
