Spring traditionally evokes a sense of freshness and new beginnings, with sprouting shoots and blossoming flowers that inspire designers to breakout of the winter doldrums. Bright colors return to the top 10 list for spring/summer ’09, as designers incorporate vibrant pops into their collections, yet temper the vibrancy with deeper, translucent or neutral tones. Fashion designers encourage hopeful attitudes with lively colors, while sophisticated, grounded hues address the need for stability in times of economic uncertainty.
- Palace Blue – takes a steadfast, classic navy-like tone and makes it sparkle.
- Lavender – presents a softer, more summery hue.
- Super Lemon – brings a fun optimistic outlook to the palette. Its luminosity will evoke a smile and attract the consumer’s eyes.
- Salmon Rose – also conveys an optimistic outlook.
- Fuchsia Red – with its blue undertones, this cool red is a real show-stopper, adding a sense of elegance to the palette.
- Rose Dust – breaks away from typical neutrals by adding dimension with subtle rose undertones.
- Slate Gray – nuanced neutral that can be paired with any other color in this palette.
- Vibrant Green – brings a true verdancy to the palette in a time of revitalization.
- Dark Citron – is calmer and more serious then most, offering an element of sophistication.
- Lucite Green – a clean, clear subtle hue, adds a slight shimmer.
