The Pantone Colours for Fall 2011are here

I guess the colours need to be released so the designers can do their design things, but Fall 2011 already. Spring 2011 isn't even here yet!

But, the colours that will be seen in all the shops this fall are beautiful. Of course, I love the honeysuckle pink. There isn't a single colour I would not want to work with. I love them all!

PANTONE 14-0740: Bamboo, a standout yellow with a subtle green undertone
PANTONE 17-1547: Radiant Emberglow, a traditional autumnal tone
PANTONE 18-2120: Honeysuckle, a dynamic spring hue
PANTONE 19-2820: Phlox, a deep purple
PANTONE 16-0526: Cedar, evoking the freshness of a cool mist in a dark forest
PANTONE 19-4914: Deep Teal, a strong blue-toned green that suggests ocean depths
PANTONE 18-0930: Coffee Liqueúr, a rich color that serves as a savory alternative to basic black
PANTONE 16-1320: Nougat, a deliciously warm camel tan
PANTONE 13-3805: Orchid Hush, a unique tone of gray with complex orchid undertones
PANTONE 15-4305: Quarry, a reliable medium gray

Even the names of the colours are pretty.  If you want to look at the colour report full size, click on it, and it will  should open in a new window. I am imagining a soft mohair feather and fan shawl in the 4 colours on the right - coffee liqueur, nougat, orchid hush and quarry. Maybe Kathryn will have some of those colours in her samples this Wednesday.

We can only hope!
