FALL COLORS FOR 2014...

The calendar is only halfway through July but I feel it is my duty to prepare you for the upcoming season's colors to look forward to for fashion and design.   

For more than 20 years The Pantone Institute, the global authority on color, has surveyed the designers of New York Fashion Week and beyond to forecast the season's most important color trends. This report previews the most prominent hues for fall 2014. 


First up is the leader of the pack and the Color of the Year for 2014: Radiant Orchid #18-3224 - a captivating and adaptable shade that enchants the complete spectrum...

Royal Blue #19-3955 - an evocative and dignified hue that provides more complexity and excitement than the average navy while still remaining versatile...

Misted Yellow #14-0837 - a ray of sunlight and warmth that alludes to the promise of spring to come...

Sangria #19-2047 - an exotic red that evokes a sense of glamorous adventure and faraway destinations...

Mauve Mist #15-3207 - a romantic and elegant purple shade...

Look for these colors and combinations to create color palettes that will dominate the scene in fashion and interior design. Happy trend spotting...
