Pantone’s Fall 2011 color choices

At the start of every new season, Pantone unveils their latest color choices for “of the moment” hues in fashion. Their decision is made by surveying the designers of fashion week to identify the most “directional” colors. If you’re looking for new ways to incorporate color into your wardrobe this season, look to Pantone’s color pallet.

“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.”

What do you think of Pantone’s choices? I love their rich, sophisticated hues. The only one that really caught me off guard was Orchid Hush. Although I think it’s a pretty color, it’s a little bit too baby doll-ish for me right now. But perhaps it’ll grow on me.
