Bouncy, squishy, soft — gummy colors to soothe the season.
This year's breakout aesthetic — Jellycore — is rewriting spring/summer pastels. The tired idea that pink means sweet and childish is gone: low-saturation, translucent candy tones are the season's new mood-lifters, built for a digital age.
Made for fast modern life, the soft, weightless texture of jelly works like a gentle sensory shield — easing anxiety and burnout. That emotional pull has carried it straight to the top of the spring/summer fast-response trend list.
The look is built on a translucent gummy base with a soft-light finish — all gentle, comforting mood, and a perfect match for Pinterest's trend of the year, "Gimme Gummy."

Five key colors at a glance
01
Pink Dolphin
PANTONE 14-1904 TCX
A ballet love letter — soft nude pink, gentle to the touch
A quiet, elegant nude pink — like the fine spray when a dolphin breaks the surface. Light, translucent, warm. It sheds all sugary edge for a just-right soft filter, building the season's first sensory shield.
02
Lilac Snow
PANTONE 13-3405 TCX
Millennial lilac — a retro mist, hazy Y2K mood
A misty pink-lilac caught between dream and waking — an echo of Y2K, without the dated feel. Laid over cellulose acetate, it seals a whole season of softness inside the sheet's light-passing grain.
03
Transparent Yellow
PANTONE 11-0617 TCX
Spring note in lemon-honey — pale yellow, fresh energy
Sunlight melted into honey, thinned to the lightest wash — that's Transparent Yellow. Between clear and bright, it lifts a whole look without ever shouting. Like the first breath of a lemon-honey morning: light, lively, and the easiest antidote to burnout.
04
Clearly Aqua
PANTONE 12-5504 TCX
Heart of the ocean — misty blue, a cool, clear view
The shallow, mist-blue layer of sea at dawn, before sunlight touches it — that's Clearly Aqua. It walks the line between blue and green: cool-headed, yet soft enough to breathe. Spread across the acetate sheet, it's an entire ocean sealed in the frame.
05
Daiquiri Green
PANTONE 12-0435 TCX
Lime fizz — fresh light green, a lively, cool mood
Pour a daiquiri into a cellulose acetate sheet — fizz rising, lime flecks catching the light. This jelly-pale yellow-green skips the weight of botanical greens, yet feels lighter and clearer than any of them: the one shade you'll want to hold onto all year.
Hold the jelly in your hand.
JIMEI cellulose acetate sheets give every shade lightness and breath.
From Pink Dolphin to Daiquiri Green — we've turned 2026's softness into a texture you can reach out and touch.
