Colors for Spring & Summer 2011 - Match to Cardstock
Every season, the top colors are announced. I thought Pantone did this in conjunction with the Fashion Institute, but I cannot find what the colors actually look like.
Here's the list:
The top 10 colors for spring and summer 2011:
1. Honeysuckle
Flirtatious honeysuckle is a feel-good hue that brings a festive sense of playfulness to this season's palette. This vibrant pinkish-red for both apparel and cosmetics makes consumers feel alive and is a perfect post-winter pick-me-up.
2. Coral Rose
Spicy, gregarious and persuasive describe coral rose, a sophisticated orange that conjures up feelings of distant lands. Pair it with lavender for a unique counterpoint.
3. Peapod
This fresh yellow-green color brings an organic element to the palette and is reminiscent of the green shoots that signify change and new beginnings traditionally found in spring.
4. Beeswax
Like coral rose, this warm, honeyed yellow will make you think of faraway locales. Pair this piquant hue with regatta blue, its color-wheel opposite for a vibrant color combination.
5. Silver Peony
One of three trans-seasonal neutrals, silver peony is an ethereal gray with a hint of pink that, along with regatta and silver cloud, provide a stable backdrop for all the other colors.
6. Russet
One of the so-called "nude hues," deep russet is a dramatic neutral brown.
7. Regatta
Think sea and sky and this brilliant blue comes alive! It pairs beautifully with beeswax yellow or coral rose orange for a bold, notice-me look.
8. Blue Curacao
This alluring blue evokes thoughts of tropical destinations. Pair this enticing Caribbean blue with warm, complementary colors, such as honeysuckle or coral rose.
9. Lavender
Romantic, fanciful lavender implies sensuality with its subtle hint of red undertone. It can be combined with beeswax yellow or coral rose orange.
10. Silver Cloud
Another dependable background color, silver cloud, is a medium gray. It's the quintessential neutral that consumers can rely on to coordinate with everything in their closet
What cardstock colors (SU, PTI, Bazzill or others) do you think "match" these top fashion colors?
