Pantone Unveils Fashion Color Report Fall ’07
Pantone, Inc., an authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, recently unveiled the PANTONE Fashion Color Report Fall 2007. The report features the top 10 colors for women’s fashion along with designer sketches, quotes and head shots. The availability of the report coincides with the beginning of New York Fashion Week.
According to the report, complex and exotic describe the intriguingly unusual and inviting color palette for fall 2007 women’s fashion. The traditional neutral shades expected for autumn have been replaced this season with rich, nuanced hues, offering more opportunity for creativity with interesting and unexpected color combinations.
The top 10 colors are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to fashion. See what Pantone’s top 10 is and how you can use them in your garden centers (just because they are for fashion doesn’t mean they aren’t going to hit the garden center world soon).
Spicy Chili Pepper and exotic Lemon Curry stimulate the taste buds, entice the senses and enliven any wardrobe. Purple Wine, the ultimate expression of creativity, marries purple and wine, broadening the appeal of purple for fashion. The violet undertones of Dusk give gray a whole new dimension, making this fall’s neutral much more desirable. Carafe, a deep, espresso brown, adds contrast to the palette, providing a rich alternative to the usual black or charcoal. Sumptuous Cashmere Rose is a complement to any of fall’s colors and flatters many complexions.
Many seasons have paid homage to nature and fall ’07 is no exception. Shale Green takes the shade in a murky, blue/gray direction, while foliage-inspired Green Moss goes to the yellow side. Earthy Burnt Ochre is this autumn’s orange, and sophisticated Stargazer continues the trend of turquoise but with a deeper intensity.
