Top 10 Fall Colors

Fall is already here! Well, maybe not, but Pantone has already published their report on what colors will be the hit of the fall.

I went around etsy and had lots of fun picking items to exemplify the (beautiful!) fall colors. Take a look at Pantone's top 10 fall colors, as well as their comments about each color:

1) American Beauty, a wonderfully balanced, true red, perfect for all skin tones


2) Purple Heart brings a sense of refinement and sensuality



3) Honey Yellow carries the color of the year through to fall and winter with its golden tones


4) Iron coordinates well with all the palette. Neither gray nor brown, serves as the "new black"

Zilknits: Short Sleeved Cardigan

5) Creme Brulee', a grayed-down beige, speaks to the need of timeless neutrals.


6) Nomad bridges the gap between beige and gray and, with the other two neutrals, can stand alone or anchor the other colors in the palette.


7) Burnt Sienna is a deepened, earthy shade of orange that reminds us of autumn sunset


8) Rapture Rose enlivens the more traditionally subdued fall hues

9) Warm Olive, a rich yellow green, adds a touch of elegance to fall



10) Majolica Blue, a deep teal blue, brings more vibrancy than the usual navy
