Miyuki Delica's 5 color groups for Summer 2026 include blue, pastel and natural hues, perfectly aligned with seasonal trends. For a summery look, opt for blues evoking the sea, romantic pastels, or warm colors reminiscent of the sun, all easily paired with the neutral color Cloud Dancer, ideal for balancing your creations.
Looking for inspiration for your next pearl weave this summer? We've selected the 5 must-have Miyuki Delica color groups for summer 2026, in line with the season's major jewelry trends: marine theme, Pantone color of the year, rosy pastels, warm tones and natural hues.
The marine theme is one of the key trends for summer 2026. Creations inspired by the sea, vacations and the coast are all the rage on Pinterest and Instagram. And jewelry is no exception. Opt for Miyuki Delica in shades of ocean blue, navy blue, turquoise and sky blue for bracelets that immediately evoke vacation.

💡 Pairing tip: combine an opaque deep blue with a lighter turquoise for a sea gradient effect. Add a touch of pearly white to simulate foam.
Pastel pinks and purples are a sure bet every summer. But for 2026, they're back with softer, more watercolor-like shades. Lavender, lilac, dragee pink and mauve are very much in demand for romantic and bohemian jewelry.
Suggested Miyuki Delica references:
💡 Matching tip: these colors work particularly well with a white or ivory base. Don't go overboard with glossy finishes: favor 1 or 2 satin references to bring out pastel shades without overpowering them.
Cloud Dancer is the official Pantone color of 2026. An off-white, slightly creamy shade reminiscent of clouds, natural linen or summer light. In Miyuki beading, this hue plays an essential role: it's the ideal neutral base color to balance any color palette.
Here are several Miyuki Delica references available at Perles&Co that perfectly capture the Cloud Dancer spirit.
Miyuki references to explore:
💡 Pairing tip: combine Cloud Dancer with any of the other 4 palettes in this article. It's THE binding color par excellence in bead weaving.
Warm colors always have their place in summer, evoking sunshine, fruit and Mediterranean warmth. In 2026, we're wearing them in opaque or pastel shades rather than fluorescent oranges. Think ripe mango, coral, sunset, brick red.

💡 Pairing tip: for a geometric pattern, mix a matte opaque orange with a pale yellow and a bright red. Matte finishes work very well with this palette to avoid the overly "glittery" effect.
The nature trend continues to make its mark in DIY jewelry. Sage green, pastel water green, light olive and moss green are highly sought-after for jewelry with a minimalist, organic aesthetic, perfect with a linen or natural cotton outfit.

💡 Pairing tip: these natural greens go wonderfully well with Cloud Dancer and the pastel pink tones in palette no. 2. Sage green + powder pink + off-white is a trendy combination for 2026.

Have you chosen your color palette? Here are 4 trendy jewelry ideas for this summer with rocailles and Miyuki Delica beads:
The 5 major color trends for summer 2026 are: marine-themed blues, pastel pinks and purples, Cloud Dancer (Pantone color 2026), warm tones (orange, yellow, red), and natural greens (sage, pastel, olive).
For a geometric pattern, it's essential to vary finishes (matte + gloss) and values (light + dark). Avoid colors that are too close together or all pastel: the pattern detail will disappear.
Miyuki Delica glass beads are water-resistant. However, it is the weaving thread that determines the overall resistance of your jewel. Jewelry woven with Fireline wire should not be worn in the sea or in swimming pools: chlorine, salt and prolonged humidity weaken the wire and can alter certain pearl finishes (particularly dyed colors or galvanized finishes). Prolonged bathing can also alter colors. It is therefore advisable to remove jewelry before showering or swimming.
