As we slowly move into warmer months the Pantone group is counted upon through their research and forecasts to release the colours most intended to be used by designers and trendsetters in the industry to set the colour trend in everything fashion for the season.
I must admit I do love a great palette to work with at the start of a new season and If Pantone knows anything, it's how to give good shade. So to help us out, I checked out Pantone’s colour trend guide and pulled out a few key notes about the top ten hues that we will see variants of for the spring season! I'm excited to see a bunch of cool colours this spring!
But to talk to the overall palette, the executive director of Pantone Colour Institute, Leatrice Eiseman shares:"This season there is a move toward the cooler and softer side of the colour spectrum. An eclectic, ethereal mix of understated brights, pale pastels and nature-like neutrals take center stage as designers draw from daydreams of simpler times. Remembrances of retro delights, folkloric and floral art, and the magical worlds of tropical landscapes restore a sense of well-being as we head into warmer months."
The next season is going to be a little cool and very beautiful. The shades interplay with one another and create unique combinations. Let’s see what hues and shades will be on top this season, scroll down the gallery to check out the top 10 colours Pantone has declared "it" for Spring 2015
