Trendy Fashion Colors
I love color – well, some colors. And I am very color-sensitive – no, I don’t want that violetty-purple, I want a more blue purple. It matters.
Colors signal emotion, colors express personality.
And there is a group, every year, who decides what THIS YEAR’s colors will be, did you know that? The color choices are documented by Pantone, a company who created a color card flip system so that colors, shades, tints, etc. could be standardized and reliably reproduced by those who need them to be accurately rendered, which is just about everybody in advertising, fashion, photography, etc.
But this is where it gets really cool. If you want to know what color everyone will be wearing this coming fall, or even next spring or summer, you can find it at fashion trendsetter.com. They have the fashion color forecasts from at least ten different sources, with names like apple cinnamon, bijou blue, vetiver and pale khaki coming up for fall 2007-8. You can see the full selection by clicking on fashion trendsetter and the assorted collections there.

“I don’t want that violetty-purple, I want a more blue purple”
OH MY GOD! i found some one like me!!! i’m picky like that too! it seriously matters.. alot of ppl don’t get that…
Oh Swair~ I bet you are one of the few people who can also talk shades of black and white! And . . . are your clothes in your closet by color?
Purple is bad ass. It was the color of kings.
Yves Klein gave me a new appreciation for color. He created his own shade of blue: IKB(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Klein_Blue) and then had naked women painted in it and they rolled around on a canvas for an audience while an orchestra played a single chord for 20 mintues.
The Hex color doesn’t quite do it justice. It’s much more vibrant in person.
As usual, Heart, when I read your blog or read your comments, I learn something! I had to check the site – WOW. My computer doesn’t even capture such subtle distinctions, but I can see it is a gorgeous blue. I also learned that Cerulean was a lot more green than I thought; I had envisioned it as Cerulean blue. Wow. Thanks for the insight
oh and for one other thing. Now, everyone who types in naked+women will be sent to my blog. Thanks, thanks a lot ;-P
