Pantone LLC, an authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, details soothing neutrals and energizing brights in the PANTONE® Fashion Color Report Spring 2013.
The comprehensive overview of designers’ use of color in their upcoming collections was released on the first day of New York Fashion Week in early September. While the report features the top 10 colors for women’s and men’s fashion for spring 2013, the same trends influence the event world in the form of color schemes, linens and liners, lighting design and more.
Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®, compares the spring color collection to the balancing act of striving to find harmony in the frantic pace of everyday lives.
“The same can be said for fashion as we look for balance between light and bright, classic and new,” she says. “This season’s color palette emphasizes this need for balance, while at the same time allowing for individuality, self-expression and excitement.”
