One need only look at the concept of Pantone Color of the Year to see that color, like other design elements, go in and out of style. And while for some designs you want to keep things timeless, trends play a part in keeping your designs from feeling stale.
If you're looking for color inspo, look no further.
Here are some cool color palettes that you can take inspiration from and use in your next design.

Before we leap in, let's point out some common themes I've noticed in these color combos:
1. Lavender accent color
Purple used to be exclusively for highly feminine brands. It was known as a color widely disliked among men. However it's become increasingly popular among all sorts of brands from feminine to tech and beyond.
My personal theory is that this is an effect of lavender being the Pantone Color of the Year twice in recent history. It's slowly seeped into the design culture and taken on a more significant role than it used to have.
2. Neon Lime Green accent color
3. Black primary color with vibrant accents
4. Beige background color (rather than white)
And now, on to the palettes:
