2008 Fall Colour Forecast

by margarida - Ei! Kumpel

Because Pantone is such an authority when it comes to colour, everytime I create a new season's collection, I always make my colours choices based on Pantone's forecast. Pantone never disappoints and if great designers use this palette, why shouldn't we?

Almost everyone expects that Fall colours would be cozy, quiet and very serious. However, this season's Pantone Colour Palette brings us so much more than that. It's a season of change, althought not a radical one. Some traditionally Fall colours are still present, like chocolate brown, gray and other autumn shades.
Blues, greens and purples will be much seen next season but, as for spring / summer, reds continue to be strong and present. The palette is rich, sophisticated and elegant and colours are bright and beautiful. The featured colours are exciting and they add a splash of energy to the sometimes boring fall's colours.

Artists and creators have a great solid base to work, using these wonderful and beautiful colours. Potential combinations could be green and grey, red and black and mustard and blue.
Remember that colour trends are not everything, they are just guidelines, not rules... Push yourself forward, open your mind to new colour combos and start playing with colour. It can be so much fun!
