Pantone’s Color Report For Fall 2016
Pantone’s Color Report For Fall 2016
As we are getting closer to fall and most of us are starting to think about our fall wardrobes, I thought this would be a good opportunity to look at Pantone’s color report for fall 2016. Bare in mind that there are lots of color trend forecasting companies and they might have slightly different colors in their reports, so it is hard to have one universal color story that works for everyone. However, the Pantone Color Institute is one of the most used resources for color direction by brands and companies globally, so today I am going to cover their fall color story for 2016.
Riverside
Riverside is a cool and calming yet strong shade of blue that displays vibrancy and sophistication.
Airy Blue
Airy Blue was used by a lot of designers on the runway to show weightlessness in a world of conflict. It is meant to evoke serenity and calm.
Sharkskin
A modern, perfect color for fall that would pair perfectly with any other bright or muted color palette. It is a practical yet perfectly chic color for fall.
Aurora Red
A bold red that is warm, sensual and immediately pleasing to the eye. This color conveys excitement, energy and confidence.
Warm Taupe
A timeless and sophisticated neutral that suggests reassurance and stability. It is a trusted and grounded color you can go back to time and time again.
Dusty Cedar
This color is called the fall and winter of the pinks we used in spring. It is dustier and exudes warmth and complexity.
Lush Meadow
This is a rich and elegant, vibrant and sophisticated shade of green. It is brighter and deeper than the more neutral greens.
Spicy Mustard
Continuing the trend of yellow from spring, this shade is spicier and more vibrant.
Potter’s Clay
Sort of a neutral earth tone but with an element of russet orange in its undertones makes this color so beautiful and sophisticated.
Bodacious
An unexpected color for fall which is perfect for an accent color to work back to darks like black, gray and navy. Perfect color for those of us that would like to keep on using pink and purple after spring.
What are your thoughts on these colors and which ones are your favorites?

First, I really think most of these colors are pretty, and also refreshing to a wardrobe. I was really drawn to a few of the nail polish colors! Wish they had told us the names of the colors! I can see the name on one or two. I really enjoyed seeing this, thank you!!

Pretty colors! I don’t usually pay too much attention to the colors of a season and stick to colors that fit into my existing wardrobe. But I really like riverside and can see myself adding an item or two in that color!
