Looking Forward in Colour

Never one to be mired in winter, today seems the perfect time to check the spring colour forcast.

Pantone's Leatrice Eiseman has released the spring 2016 colour pallet  with a focus on "Colors this season transport us to a happier, sunnier place where we feel free to express a wittier version of our real selves."

Reflective of a global trend seeking a chance to disconnect from technology and find something simpler and calming, fashion designers have embraced nostalgia and playful escapism.  You will see the evidence in the resurgence of boho-chic styles brought on with a new twist this spring and summer.

Our favorites are;
  • Peach Echo for warmth and accessibility from the playful orange family
  • Limpet Shell is clear, clean and defined. Suggestive of clarity and freshness
  • Iced Coffee is a strong neutral based on the earth softness and subtle 

When you are looking to make a bolder statement add a bit of;
  • Fiesta reflects excitement, and free-spirited exploration from your last trip south
  • Buttercup brings everyone to a happier, sunnier place
  • Snorkel Blue plays with a happier, more energetic version of a winter navy


The baseline for this pallet begins with the  
2016 colour of the year (actually two)

 Rose Quartz; "a warmer embracing rose tone", and Serenity "cooler tranquil blue".
Enjoy planning your spring wardrobe.
