Have you checked out Pantone’s Fall 2017 Fashion Colour Report?

Earlier this year Pantone, the global authority on colour and provider of professional colour standards, announced their Fall 2017 Fashion Colour Report, in time for the New York and London Fashion Weeks. First time hearing about Pantone’s Fall 2017 Fashion Colour Report? Pantone’s report gives the design industries a thorough, comprehensive overview of the latest colour trends, considering the colours fashion designers have used in their seasonal collections. The fall report is one of two reports that get published twice a year for the fashion industry and is produced by the colour experts at Pantone. The report highlights the top colours for both men’s and women’s fashion for the fall season for London and New York. Although this report is primarily for the fashion industry the fashion colour trends will permeate into other product areas and even into home decor. Where can I access the report? You can access the full PANTONE Fashion Color Report, Fall 2017 from their website or read on to discover the colours For the first time Pantone have developed two separate palettes to reflect the different influences from Europe as well as the USA. “There is a commonality between the colors we are seeing on the runway in New York and London.” says Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute. “However, individuality is evident and we are seeing a distinct difference between the shows in the two cities in the way these same colors are being combined.” What do you think about the choice of colours? I am surprised at the lack of green in the colours chosen especially since Greenery 15-0343 is the Color of the Year for 2017; the palettes also seem to be less autumnal than in previous years with the Fall 2016 Report for example selecting many rich spicy yellows, oranges , browns and reds reminiscent of autumn leaves. The pink, blue and lilac shades selected for Fall 2017 are muted versions of colours we associate with spring so perhaps we are moving away from two distinct colour seasons towards colours that work throughout the year?
