Each season the team at the Pantone Color Institute creates the Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report; a color overview highlighting the top colors fashion designers showing at NY Fashion Week will be featuring in their collections for the upcoming season. With color on the catwalk a key indicator of the color stories we can expect to see showing up across all areas of design, the Pantone Fashion Color Trend Report is your easily accessible guide to the season’s most important color trends.
Visceral hues coupled with seasonal core shades create a versatile palette inclusive of the following:
Biking Red
An adventurous deep red, Biking Red is strong and powerful
Bluestone
Bluestone is the colour of quiet resolve

This season’s core shades are strong enough to stand alone or work equally well as a foundation for distinguishing color contrasts.

Guacamole
A tasteful nutrient-enriched green, Guacamole establishes a refreshing foundation
Paloma
An unpretentious, yet at the same time elegant grey , Paloma endures

For Professionals it is a great opportunity to link seasonal fashion colours with autumnal colour consultations and the language used by Pantone hopefully sparking some inspiration.
Or simply just to enjoy and plan a few feature home or personal items… I am edging for a new scarf in Guacamole and possibly some inspired Yoga leggings in Galaxy Blue, as for my hair lets get spring/summer out of the way first, I still have a few tubes of Ultra Violet to get through.
