quiet luxury Color Palette

Mermaidcore captures the shimmer and mystery of the ocean with iridescent aquas, soft teals, pearlescent purples and glittery silvers that create dreamy, fluid palettes. These tones shift like light on water, and paired with deep midnight blues or pastel overlays, the effect feels magical and otherworldlyIt marks a shift away from the muted “quiet luxury” neutrals of the past few years and brings back bold fantasy and a touch of escapism. As consumers look for designs that feel less predictable, Mermaidcore is an imaginative alternative that balances glamor with nostalgia.For small businesses, this trend works beautifully in beauty, fashion and lifestyle branding. A boutique could use pearlescent gradients on their packaging, or a spa might choose teal-to-purple color washes to create calming digital visuals. To try it, experiment with gradients, metallic finishes and translucent layers that add depth and sparkle to your designs.
