2012 Pantone Color Report

A new year has begun and even though we aren’t out of the cold yet, the world of fashion and design is now on to Spring! Runways have already had several Spring 2012 collections stroll the catwalk, and Pantone has unleashed its color picks for the year.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These colors will be seen in clothing, jewelry, home décor and more. Here are tips on how to work them into your life.

Tangerine Tango has been announced as the Color of the Year, so it will be showing up everywhere. You can make it bold and trendy by pairing it with complementary bright colors like Cockatoo, Solar Power and Cabaret.  Use Tangerine Tango in a bold blouse, a geometric pattern on upholstery or chunky accessories for contrast!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you want a more subdued look, use foundation colors to tone it down like khaki, nude, navy and black.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Colorblocking is another hot trend for bold colors this Spring. Accessorize with stones like fire opal with nudes, navy blue, red and purple.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The subtler colors of Spring work well together. Try putting Bellflower with Starfish and Driftwood.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sodalite Blue can be used as a unique substitute for navy, and it makes for a stunning evening look.
