COLOUR 101: FALL COLOUR TRENDS 2011

"texture, contrast and color for fall 2011 – pairing menswear with feminine twists, warm prints with cool metals, incorporating both old and new influences, and creating an intriguing balance between colors."

Fall officially started on September 22nd that first week of fall seemed like Mother Nature was going to skip Fall and head straight to Winter. Thank goodness October is beaming with sunlight, hot weather, and cool breeze. Fall is one of my favourite seasons I call it "Perfect Sweater Weather." You know fall is here when it starts getting darker earlier, the days are warm but nights are chilly and you start thinking about Thanksgiving dinner and Trick or Treating on Halloween. My favourite part of all is the beauty of watching nature change.  The green leaves turning yellow and orange really let me know fall is here.

This is what Pantone had to say about the Fall colours:

“Designers take a painterly approach to fall 2011 by artfully combining bright colors with staple neutrals, reminiscent of how an artist would construct a stunning work of art,” said Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute^®. “Much like a painter's masterpiece, there is a certain romance to this season's palette.”

With every new seasons that comes new colour trends arrive and you quickly see them popping up in all types industries, from retail to the runway, in home decor, and even architecture. Pantone has the authorize say in reporting what colours will be in style for the season.
