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 Sand.
PANTONE 15-1225 Sand
Similar to nude, Sand will pair with almost any color—blue or red, bolder or muted. The choice is up to the wearer.
1. Pair warm Sand with a complementary or cool color for a vibrant effect.

2. Suggest Sand-colored jewelry—metal or stone—to balance busy prints.

3. Suggest monochromatic hues—layers of Sand-related colors—to create an understated, tone-on-tone look.

4. Dress Sand-colored clothes in black and white jewels for a classic appearance.

5. Dress Sand attire in analogous colors to create a richer-than-monochromatic, but still soothing style.
