Color Report 7 of 10: 5 Jewels to Color-Block With Pantone’s Cayenne

The Pantone Spring 2014 Fashion Color Report provides an overview of fashion designers’ color choices in their new collections. The colors are important for jewelers to know so they can help customers color-block accessories. Here are five ways to color-block with Pantone’s Cayenne.

Pantone's Cayenne

PANTONE 18-1651 Cayenne

This spicy shade looks great with similar hues—think orange and peach—while balancing busy patterns and offsetting bright ones.

1. Give Cayenne-colored dresses a pop of silver for contrast.

2. For a more somber statement, adorn Cayenne in blacks and browns.
