New York fashion designers are flourishing in a season of new beginnings, using surprising neutrals with innovative splashes of corals, yellows and purples to create a spring in bloom.Tarragon is the freshly cut stem to the blossoming shades of sweet Strawberry Ice, warm Golden Apricot and violet-infused Hollyhock. Cafe Creme is the rich, creamy contrast to the serenity of calming Sky Blue or the deliciousness of refreshing Grapemist. The yellow glow of gleaming Green Sheen and the blushing beauty of diaphanous Silver Peony reflect the infusion of life brought by spring.

pantone spring 2007 colors

What’s hot isn’t just determined by Pantone or the designers, it’s the people and the media. If I could predict what would be the “it” colors for spring would be they would be rich deep versions of orange and raspberry sherbet colors with a lot of white – things that are a hint preppy, some well done paisley’s and stripes. This is what I’m leaning towards myself because when I find myself buying too much of one color I tend to start looking for another color.

I think that the chocolates, teals and light chartreusy-lime colors will stick around in the background.
