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

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 Tangerine.

Pantone's Tangerine

Tangerine is “spontaneous and gregarious” and “a juicy shade that is energizing, yet not jarring to the eye,” according to Pantone. Tangerine is “striking enough to stand on its own and adds vitality to a printed pattern,” as well as being “good natured and friendly,” maintains the color agency.

1. Pair Tangerine attire with a deep blue–colored jewel for floral market–inspired effect, like clothing designer Trina Turk.
