In a world where colours speak volumes, the Rooibos Tea Pantone® hue is stealing the show. Its rich, earthy hue, inspired by the warm tones of the Rooibos tisane, has captured the attention of designers, decorators and trendsetters globally.

The hue featured big time at the recent Met Gala held in New York. Celebs like Teyana Taylor and the band, Stray Kids, all chose to incorporate the Rooibos Pantone in their outfits at this prestigious occasion. 

“The announcement of the Rooibos Tea Pantone® as one of the top ten colours for spring 2024 at New York Fashion Week late last year catapulted its status – surpassing a staggering 2 390 other contenders. This prestigious recognition, which is part of the Fashion Colour Trend Report by Pantone, heralded the arrival of a new trendsetter that will continue to redefine the way we see and experience colour for seasons to come,” added Adele du Toit, spokesperson for the SA Rooibos Council.
