The Pantone Spring 2015 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 Scuba Blue.

“Scuba Blue is an invigorating turquoise that conveys a sense of carefree playfulness” and “is reminiscent of a tropical ocean,” according to Pantone.
1. Play up Scuba Blue’s coolness by pairing it with a silver piece.

2. Offer an unexpected color combination with a Scuba Blue ensemble and a red jewel (see Versace and Nina Ricci for further study in how it works together).
