The colour experts over at Pantone have announced what they predict will be the hues for the upcoming Fall 2009 palatte.
The top 10 colours include
- “American Beauty,” a balanced, true red;
- “Purple Heart,” a jewel-tone purple;
- “Honey Yellow,” a warm, more subdued version of the sunny “Mimosa Yellow” (Pantone’s 2009 Color of the Year);
- “Iron”, a brown-gray tone, serving as the “new black”
- “Burnt Sienna,” an earthy shade of orange;
- “Creme Brulee”, a gray-ed down beige
- “Nomad”, a light brown hue bridging between beige and light gray
- “Rapture Rose,” combining the vibrancy of fuchsia and the softness of pink;
- “Warm Olive,” a rich yellow-green; and
- “Majolica Blue,” a deep teal.
“The fall 2009 palette is more unique and thoughtful than the typical autumnal hues of years past,” Pantone Color Institute Executive Director Leatrice Eiseman said in the report. “Designers recognize the desire for fundamental basics that speak to the current economic conditions, but also understand the need to incorporate vibrant color to grab the consumers’ eyes and entice them to buy.” Leatrice says that of the 10 colors, the neutral Iron received the highest rating from designers, a choice that points to practicality. Over the last few seasons there has been more of a trend toward “trans-seasonal” dressing, in which apparel and accessories can be used from one season and into the next, so trends linger and aren’t abandoned quite so quickly.
What this means for fashionistas: Despite the colours being of unique hues, they are easy to mix and match with the rest of your wardrobe, so it’ll look fresh on you anytime. The best part which will be wearable even in the seasons before and after it is meant to debut. Easy and fashionable colours to wear are the trend!
