The Pantone Color Institute promises to “transport consumers to an enchanting place, free from the stresses of everyday life,” according to its selection of 10 hues for fall 2012.
Inspirations from fashion designers (including Carmen Marc Valvo and Betsey Johnson) who participated in choosing next season’s on-trend colors include love potions, sunsets, and fantasy worlds, among others.
“By playing to consumers’ practical side with versatile neutrals, and boosting their confidence with bold, spirited hues, this skillfully balanced palette has something for everyone,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director, during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week, when the new season’s colors are routinely debuted.
