PANTONE COLOR FOR SPRING: AFRICAN VIOLET...

One of my favorite colors is purple so I was elated to find AFRICAN VIOLET among the Pantone Spring Fashion Report for 2013. This is a statement color that brings a touch of intrigue to the palette that can be incorporated into many unexpected combinations. Great when paired with Lemon Zest its opposite on the color wheel, African Violet is great when complimented with Nectarine, Emerald or Tender Shoots for added punch.


Mimicking lilac in tone, here's how the hue translates in fashion this season...
