And the Color is… BLUE!
Tuesday, February 3rd, 2015 | Uncategorized | No Comments
Using only one word to describe the trend for spring 2015, it would be color, color, color! Coming through a dull, dreary winter, you will be delighted that spring is in shades that give the feel of a coastline of Greece… the beautiful greens of the rainforest, the tones of the Mediterranean… almost like a color cruise of the best things the world has to offer!
Four of the 10 colors in Pantone’s spring/summer color chart are shades of blue and green!
Aquamarine is an airy blue with a dreamy touch; cool and calming, it’s a shade with a wet and watery feel that mixes well with the other blues and greens in the top 10.
Scuba Blue conveys a sense of carefree playfulness; even though it’s a cool shade, the vibrancy of scuba blue adds a splash of excitement to the palette, offering a feeling of escape as it is reminiscent of a tropical ocean. The stirring and energizing of this shade takes us off on an exotic paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy.
Lucite Green is a soothing shade whose time has really come again. Fresh and clarifying, cool and refreshing, Lucite Green has a minty glow; light in tone, it seems almost transparent and pairs well with both Classic and Scuba.
Finally, Classic Blue serves as an anchor to the spring/summer 2015 palette. It’s a shade that’s both strong and reliable and a favorite of many women. Just as with the sea, because of its waterborne qualities, this shade is perceived as thoughtful and introspective.
Overall, it’s interesting to note that the palette this season is not limited to the typical “springy” pastels but a deeper, richer, and bolder mix of color choices as well!
Glacier Gray becomes your favored neutral for spring; its unobtrusive nature both contrasts and enhances all of the other colors in the palette… a timeless shade that is assuring and peacefully relaxing.
