The progressive fading in and out of yellow, purple and light blue shades is of mass appeal, catering to an audience that has expressed its unbending obsession with tinted movements from light to dark. Photographer Lahaina Alcantra captured the beauty of the pigments present in Only Ombre’s Summer 2013 preview. The [pale shades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-dualities) are approachable for those who may consider [popular ombre styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dusk-colorway) to be for chic style crowds only. The models featured in the lookbook are also quite natural with minimal amounts of makeup and little if any attention to hair. This serves to mimic ombre patterns found in nature, most often observed in rainbows or waterfalls. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 41% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Media](https://www.trendhunter.com/media) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Gradient Fashion:** Fashion designers can explore creating a line of clothing that utilizes color gradients to create visually stunning pieces. - **Natural Ombre:** Beauty brands have an opportunity to tap into the natural ombre trend by creating makeup looks and skincare routines that highlight the natural gradient of skin tones. - **Ombre Home Decor:** Home decor and interior designers can embrace the ombre trend by incorporating color gradients into decorative accents and furniture pieces for a unique touch. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Fashion brands can adopt color gradient designs to create unique clothing pieces and collections that stand out in the market. - **Beauty:** Beauty brands have an opportunity to market gradient makeup looks and skincare routines that emphasize natural ombre hues. - **Home Decor:** Interior design companies can incorporate ombre color schemes into home decor items and furniture pieces to offer a modern touch to home decor. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Desert Ombre-Inspired Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Desert-Ombre.md) - [Bright Color-Based Spring Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vowels-1.md) - [Sky-Inspired Gradient Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dusk-colorway.md) - [Modern Minimalist Apparel Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auteur-studios-latest-summer-edit.md) - [Dreamy Summer Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/triangls-mirage-drop.md) - [Couture Color Palettes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pantone-dualities.md) - [Sun-Soaked Resort Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/golden-hour-getaway-collection.md) - [Color-Rich Swimsuit Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/country-club.md) - [Ombre Effect Tile Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/melange.md)
