Goldwell Announces its 2022 Color of the Year: BUBBLEGUM

Working in conjunction with some of the world’s foremost color experts, Goldwell is proud to introduce the 2022 Color of the Year:  BUBBLEGUM. The retro-futuristic pink shade playfully walks the line between vibrant, hot pink and classic pastels, harnessing a bevy of charming dualities that resonates with a diverse audience. 

“We can see that optimism will be a key trend for 2022 and BUBBLEGUM is the perfect emblem for it,” says Jane Boddy, Global Color Expert. “The underlying blue tone adds a freshness that is both progressive and balanced. It merges the playful heart with the clear head to create a color that is versatile but measured.” 

Gone are the days of pink being associated with feminine roots – it is now considered a color that has defined the times. The hue embodies a shift in attitude not only in fashion, beauty and lifestyle, but overall outlook, establishing a newfound level of respect.  

“This playful, inclusive color represents diversity, self-identity, fun and freedom, which is something our stylists couldn’t wait to start replicating in their color formulas,” says John Moroney, Global Creative Director Goldwell. “Striking the unique balance between flirtatious and wholesome, cool and warm, and soft and strong, the dynamic aspects of BUBBLEGUM will infuse the look with a head-turning dramatic effect like no other.”
