2) Emberglow- This "traditional autumnal tone, emanates the warmth of a glowing fire"
3) Honeysuckle- Pantone's color of the year, this reddish pink works with every other color in the fall pallette.
4)Phlox- A "magical, deep purple," Phlox adds drama to the season's neutrals
5)Cedar- Drawing from nature, this tone is a "versatile, mid-tone neutral green"
6)Deep Teal- This blue-toned green "suggests ocean depths and the color of the sky as daylight descends into darkness"
7)Coffee Liqueur- Rich and elegant, this is a great alternative to basic black.
8)Nougat- This warm camel tan is a classic neutral
9)Orchid Hush- This gray tone with "undercurrents of orchid" blends well with the pallette's other colors
10)Quarry- This medium gray is a solid staple, as its name implies
You'll be seeing these colors now during spring and through to fall and winter 2011. These fabulous colors are sure to brighten any room in your home as well as in fashion. Enjoy!!
