Sketch | Peter Som/Pantone Color Institute
The start of a new season means a new set of Pantone’s selected trend colors! For Fall 2011, Pantone has studied the fall collections of designers and interviewed trendmakers to derive the mood and, subsequently, hot colors for the season.
“Designers take a painterly approach to fall 2011 by artfully combining bright colors with staple neutrals, reminiscent of how an artist would construct a stunning work of art,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Much like a painter’s masterpiece, there is a certain romance to this season’s palette.”
It’s been a while since we’ve seen some of these hues. The set is aptly titled “Sensible and Spirited,” which makes me think young and sophisticated. We’ve certainly seen this movement in the past year! Think Kate Middleton, Barcelona as a rising destination of choice, and the general economic landscape’s forcing us to be, well…sensible and spirited!
Look for future posts as we explore the WeareverTheWeather.com collection featuring each color below – and what to wear with it!
