Are Your Colors On-Trend?




The Pantone 2012 Fall/Winter Color Report is certainly not new News ... but with many of us well under-way creating for the Fall/Winter season right now, a little reminder can't hurt!

When Pantone speaks, Retailers listen, and these are the colors that women will be seeing when they are in the stores. It may still be hotter than heck, but Summer Clearances are going on and the Fall items have shown their pretty faces everywhere!

There will be a lot of women wearing these colors, and they want to accessorize in the very same shades. If you create jewelry, knit & crochet pieces, handbag accessories - just about anything that will be worn or toted around - these are the colors you should be thinking about.

For those who carry and/or create supplies, these are the colors your customers will want. Those who create personal items like Bath & Body, using these shades in your items will be au courant and much more likely to catch the eye of shoppers.

Items for the home are not exempt from color trends. If a woman is attracted to the so-much-fun bright colored jeans we are seeing, they'll also be excited by the same hues when they're looking for cool stuff to put in their home. And don't forget all the college kids decorating their dorm room!

Here's a quick roundup of the Shades of Fall that you can keep in mind when creating ...

  3. Olympian blue is my personal favorite, but I think the combination of ultramarine green and tangerine tango could have some very interesting possibilities.

  15. The colors are very heavy and dark. Almost like the sun is behind a cloud. Rather fitting for our present economy woes.

  25. interesting, if only I had the time to sit down and plan a fall line based on current color trends.
    Still good to keep in mind even for something as unrelated as sculpting (hey, sculpted fairies dress fashionably too)
