The Pantone Fall 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 Bright Cobalt.

Bright Cobalt has “a slightly green undertone” and “offers a subtle twist on traditional cobalt blue,” according to Pantone.
1. Pair Bright Cobalt–colored garments with brown or tan for an unexpected but soothing effect.
