The Pantone Spring 2014 Fashion Color Report serves as an overview of designers’ color choices in new clothing collections. The colors are important for jewelers to know so they can help customers successfully color-block accessories. Here are five ways to color-block with Pantone’s Placid Blue.
PANTONE 15-3920 Placid Blue
Blue’s opposite on the color wheel is red, but fashionistas often pair it with yellow. Use a neutral—or another bright—to serve as a balance, and you’ve got a winning look.
